I have never worked in a company with this benefit, and only aware that Verizon provides it. I wonder if this is specific to high-tech industry, since the link below shows about 50% of large companies (more than 5000 employees) offer this benefit. Also I would like to know if you need to reach a certain age or tenure before qualifying for it. http://kff.org/report-section/retiree-health-benefits-at-the-crossroads-overview-of-health-benefits-for-pre-65-and-medicare-eligible-retirees/
Never heard of this
