#DC37 #HenryGarrido you have a pair of balls the size of Texas to be SENDING THIS WHEN YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO CUT OUR MEDICARE FOR 4YEARS & STEAL OUR VESTED BENEFITS WHEN WE AREN’T IN YOUR UNION ANYMORE AS RETIREES!!!! YOU ARE FORCING US INTO THE DEFAULT PROJECT2025 plan

Tonight! 6 pm on YouTube! www.youtube.com/live/XGhO_Fe...

Come out! We are going to the governors office!

@nycspeakeradams.bsky.social lies to pander for votes. We call it out. #MaryPinkettWasAHero #AdrienneAdamsIsAZero youtu.be/UgHpJfIalCQ?...

Adrienne Adams has not protected the Medicare benefits of retired city workers. She will point to POTUS, but it is the city under her leadership & Eric Adams forcing @nycretirees.bsky.social into the default plan of the blueprint #Project2025 she needs to retire

@nycretirees.bsky.social are fed up w/politicians not doing their jobs & protecting our vested healthcare & #Medicare. So we are endorsing candidates that made that commitment to us in writing.Thank you @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social @edafeokporo.bsky.social #aliciaVaichunas www.retiredlaborstrong.nyc

Thank you @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social we are proud to stand with you!

Updated with many more details, including that now, 4 out of 8 of Eric Adams's deputy mayors are on their way out: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...

The three deputy mayors — whose departures deal a crippling blow to Adams' administration — say they're resigning due to "the extraordinary events of the last few weeks and to stay faithful to the oaths we swore to New Yorkers and our families." www.nydailynews.com/2025/02/17/s...

#henryGarrido @dc37nyc.bsky.social implemented the default plan in #project2025 & passed copays into the elderly & disabled to give to active workers. #retiredlaborstrong #union #henryFailed stole our #Medicare benefits

#hypocrisy in this "holier-than-thou" post: NYC municipal #unions, including @aftunion.bsky.social affiliate, @uftnyc.bsky.social, forced all retirees, 9/11 1st responders too, into a cheap (dis)Advantage health plan that excluded life-saving treatments, hospitals. @fdnychic.bsky.social

www.youtube.com/live/_aAz4um... if only @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social would listen Henry Garrido is lying to her.DC37 @afscme.bsky.social

Look - The NY Times never write about the NYC retirees fight against being forced into Medicare Advantage- stripping us from our traditional Medicare benefits we earned. Everyone’s scared of trump & the GOP but this is happening under Adams & a Democratic progressive city council with our unions

I'm proud that I founded @levernews.com - one of the few news outlets that's been covering the health care crisis for years. The corporate news outlets that ignored the crisis & that are only showing up now are telling on themselves. Sure, better late than never...but still.

Because stealing Medicare benefits earned by retired unionists to give active workers a raise is classy according to Richard Davis - but it almost killed a retirees wife . @twulocal100.bsky.social youtu.be/uJfcYx1amFU?...

Failed leadership does this to retired unionists. Retirees are not in unions but they always protected us until they liquidated our healthcare for THEIR RAISE #twulocal100 Mistakes are OK if you fix them. youtu.be/iiKgrDjztlQ?... youtu.be/iiKgrDjztlQ?...

Jim Walden supports protecting @nycretirees.bsky.social #medicare benefits

When @nycretirees.bsky.social are forced to protect themselves in court because mayor Adams is trying to steal our #medicare & the city council is letting him do it. You hire lawyers to protect you from the city implementing #project2025 on Retirees.

youtu.be/nqSyundhvp4?... Because the transit union shouldn’t be selling off retirees #medicare for raises for active workers stealing from those who built their former union. History.

As @aflcio.org ponders Trump win they should reconsider forcing retired members onto predatory Medicare Advantage that undermines Medicare and is part of Project 2025! @lizshuler.bsky.social @flyingwithsara.bsky.social t.co/ah2vEJTw4L

Why is Mayor Adams & Speaker Adams pushing the #project2025 blueprint for #medicare privatization ? youtu.be/svgnCJLod0Y?...

youtu.be/O82J9Pgs8BY?... @nycretirees.bsky.social had a great day protecting their #medicare & fighting back against those trying to take it #uft #dc37 @nycmayor.bsky.social retired labor earned their benefits & no one not even the Mayor of NYC should take them or privatize a public health benefit

The truth is not coming out of the UFT #MichaelMulgrew or DC37 #HenryGarrido. We say it though. youtu.be/i8P3648mftU?...

When a Senate Investigation Committee finds @aetna @CVSHealth (among others)were hurting people for profit & @uft Mulgrew @DC37 Garrido @nycmayor.bsky.social @nycspeaker @Cndelarosa @Lynn4NYC @CMCrystalHudson sit on the sidelines while WE FIGHT FOR OURSELVES #DOitNOW MA is NOT #medicare

#labordayparade #nycretirees #statenislandferry #mastersMatesandPilots

CVS Health/ Aetna margins ⬇️for 3rd quarter. They don’t tell you their business practices of working with employers &unions across the USA to force seniors into their Medicare Disadvantage plans & then delay & deny care for profits- &upcode to steal from CMS www.beckerspayer.com/executive-mo...

1971 westy my #vdub ❤️

Hands off our #medicare Mayor Adams. @nycretirees have now won in court 9 times and you are still trying to claw back a benefit we earned and was promised to us!

Took my #71westy out today! A beautiful day for a ride!! #vdublove

"Our primary care is to take care of patients, their single focus is shareholder value and profits," Mr. Barwis told the Courant. "The Medicare Advantage abuse is outrageous." www.beckerspayer.com/payer/hospit... MedicareAdvantage is NOT #Medicare &not and advantage.

Remember when we said if a #Medicare Advantage plan needs to make more money they will reduce benefits. Well it’s even in the #NYC Proposed contract. Now it’s in the papers. So don’t let #Aetna or #uhc lie to you. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

youtu.be/jM6_FYrZe6M Join NYC Retirees and Be A Hero in a joint effort to #ReclaimMedicare and stop forcing retirees into inferior Medicare Disadvantage. Tell congress today. Click to send a letter! act.newmode.net/action/be-he...

Does your #NYS or #NYCCOUNCIL REP believe in protecting #medicare from privatization? If you don’t know ask me. I’ll tell you and then tell you want to do about it. NYC Mayor Adams is a #democrat that supports privatizing Medicare forcing @NYCRetirees into a plan many drs & hospitals don’t accept

Retirees around the country are being bulldozed into #Medicare Disadvantage plans against their will and off Traditional Medicare. Secy Becerra has the ability to to stop this and he doesn’t. #American #taxpayers CHOOSE traditional Medicare because it doesn’t delay or deny care & Drs/hosps accept it
