13+ Members had substantive questions, expressed uncertainty or distrust of what the MLC would provide. Some notable responses:

• "Which MLC agreement? What does the MLC agreement say? Its not premium free if you are shifting costs and reducing coverage." - Member of Local 375 Civil Service Technical Guild

• "They don't specify which health plans are "premium free". In theory they could force us in a worse plan that is "premium free". They are forcing retirees in a "premium free" medicare advantage plan which they do not want. Premium free means nothing." - Member of Local 2627 NYC Electronic Data Processing Personnel

• "Let us choose. " - Member of Local 420 Municipal Hospital Employees Union
