Got no clue what this means but dumping and impacted are two different things. I understand your concern my Mother is 80 and I would be up in arms too.Quote:

They are dumping their program and are claiming that they wil give retirees some as yet unkown sum of cash towards the purchase of another plan.Quote:

As for the DPA joke it goes back to the early days of AIDS. My Dad worked on the diagnostic testing for it. THe project was Differential protien anyalizer thus DPA. The inside translation of DPA was dead people analyser because back then if you had it you were as good as dead.
The more I'm being sent from Dad of official Bayer stuff the worse it gets. The people that will discuss appear to be as far as i've seen so far BUMFACE KISS ASSES! Bet that is for the money these big corps are paying them.
All I have to say is thank god my parents have all their wits about them and my dad has a mathamatical mind.
Any specifics of the changes? Is it union related? This really intrigues me that I can't find out anymore info on this and am trying to figure out how one of the largest Corps can get by with this with so little info hitting the media.Quote:

My parents have full wits about them but this could really be throwing a lot of seniors for a loop just trying to deal with all of the nutty accounting. (not nutty to me but i have a cpa)
Not an American owned company. Bayer is a German company.Quote:

Damn Germans........Wait I thought it was Obamagag, obongo, obumface, and all else that starts with Ob fault.
It is BUMMA's fault. That is why everything is changing!Quote:
