MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to go with this plan, provided that the staff be sure that
those who are planning to retire understand that they will be covered by the group policy only until
they are eligible for Medicare and that the insurance company will not accept those who have already
retired. Approval of this plan covers those who retire from this day forward and does not take care
of any previously retired employees, and covers retirees only until such time as they are eligible
for Medicare. A supplement to Medicare is not covered in this plan. All insurance for a retired
employee will be at retired employees' expense.
