Lynnfield’s Move To Drop State Insurance For Retired Teachers Stalled |
|
MAY 1999 - Lynnfield’s
controversial move, to drop the state’s health insurance (GIC) coverage
for its retired teachers and their survivors (and insure them under the
town’s insurance plan) was "indefinitely postponed" by its board of
selectmen last month. While the town’s move, to drop the GIC coverage,
has stalled, it has not been killed outright. Moreover, it raises
serious concerns about similar efforts by other municipalities or
school districts whose retired teachers are insured by the GIC.
