I had given up my accumulated sick time for lifetime medical benefits. I got SS disability. While Medicare is deducted from my SS check I get paid back for it. Those medical benefits are my secondary to Medicare. Their Workman comp fund pays me every two weeks as an addition to my reg State pension.

This could give them a way to cut off paying. The money I gave up for the benefits pays for the insurance.

I can't complain a major medical incident in March bills amounted to 800k and it only cost me a few co-pays and transport bill no questions.
