Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
Comments
The original poster is mistaking LLNL employees as being part of the UC community. We were really the red-headed stepchild and when the opportunity arose to dismiss us from the family, UC took it.
That is a bit unfair to say, when UC transferred funds from the UC retirement plan to the LLNS plan, they were more generous to LLNL than they were for LANL. But as far as retirement medical, well, we only thought we were UC employees.

It only hurts until you hit 65, then all is well. I couldn't be happier with Medicare plus the Medicare Supplement plan LANS offers. Be thankful you're not forced into Obamacare.
Note that Medicare Advantage plans are NOT the same as Medicare Supplement plans. Also, Medicare Advantage plans are NOT Medicare part D. You seem seriously misinformed. I have Medicare A & B, and the Supplement plan offered by LANS (which covers drugs), and my total cost per month is about $160 with no medical deductibles or copays, and the only out of pocket cost is drug copays.
Expected changes per mo.
Family covrrage drops from ~830 to ~530.
Medicare A+B ~240
Medicare D ~30
Medicare part A&B supplement ~160 plan K
Medicare part D supplement ~30
LLNL HCRA reimbursement to retiree ~(206) per mo
Vision unchanged
Dental unchanged.
So after 3 hour telephone call with an Empyrean rep everything changed and everything remains the same I hope except Medicare or supplements cover ED Drugs at al.
