So the idea is, they can get Medicare and some sort of supplemental coverage. Or just pay costs beyond Medicare out of pocket with the extra money. How this works out will probably depend on a person's health. I think Mom may break even, but she does take a couple of expensive medications. So I'm not sure. Also, GM reserves the right to cut out the extra money at any time. All of the 65-plus retirees are eligible for Medicare, and GM is kicking in an extra $300 a month to their pensions.

There should be a funeral, and everybody there should curse the corpse. I'm so sorry about your mother. What will she do??? I cannot even believe anybody’s “celebrating” GM’s 100th anniversary.
