I’m a firm believer in the saying, “The early bird gets the worm.” I’m one of those (annoying) people who loves doing holiday shopping in October and organizes birthday parties months in advance.
It seems many of you are like-minded, since funds for the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program — created under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as a way to help employers offset the costs of maintaining retiree health benefits — went like hotcakes from nearly Day One and the program is well on it’s way to being drained well before it is due to end in 2014.
