<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I am NOT a subscriber/user/member of UI’s
Blue Cross insurance plan. I am a member of Tri-Care. Tri-Care’s
premiums are virtually non-existent. The most I ever pay for prescriptions
under Tri-Care’s co-pay policy is $9.00. As far as medical/hospital
coverage under Tri-Care is concerned: Two years ago I underwent a double
hernia operation at Gritman. In addition to the operation, Tri-Care covered a
two-night stay at Gritman. The invoice total was in excess of $10,000.
Out-of-pocket I paid $359.50. My Tri-Care policy currently expires at age 65.
However, due to slow and deliberate degeneration of Medicare, consideration is
currently being given to extending Tri-Care policies for life.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

that not only should UI adopt an insurance program comparable to Tri-Care, but
Wal-Mart should offer its employees nothing less.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
