State Farm retirees losing some medical coverage
BLOOMINGTON (AP) — State Farm Insurance Co. is again trying to move thousands of Medicare-eligible retirees off the company's group medical plan as a cost-cutting measure.
A first attempt in 2011 ran into technical problems, and the company says those issues have been resolved.
The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reports (http://bit.ly/VmZTx9 ) that about 15,000 retirees who were allowed to temporarily remain on the company's plan will now have to find alternative coverage by June 1.
