(Bloomberg) — America’s biggest employers, from GE to IBM, are increasingly moving retirees to insurance exchanges, an historic shift that could push more costs onto U.S. taxpayers.
Time Warner Inc. yesterday said it would steer retired workers toward a privately run exchange, days after a similar announcement by International Business Machines Corp. General Electric Co. last year said it, too, would curb benefits in a move that may send some former employees to the public insurance exchanges created under the Affordable Care Act.
