UCOP Needs to Make the Call to Protect Survivor Health Insurance - Part 6 (Request to Regents)

Don't be afraid, UCOP. Pick up the phone.

In our continued quest to get UCOP to halt the improper practice of cancelling survivor health insurance upon the death of a UC emeriti or retiree, we have now called on the UC Regents via a public comment at today's meeting for assistance. 

An audio recording is below.

Again, three Emeriti Associations (UCLA, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara) have passed resolutions calling on UCOP to end the practice, It can be cured by a simple phone call from UCOP to the insurance carriers instructing them not to cancel the policies of survivors. In prior posts, we have dealt with this unfortunate practice and the seeming reasons why it continues.*

Public comment at Regents on survivor cancellations can be heard at:
