UAW deal with GM offers fewer health plans

Some 412,000 General Motors Corp. workers, retirees and their families will have fewer health and dental options, including higher co-pays and restrictions on doctor visits, under a tentative UAW contract, according to the Detroit Free Press.

UAW-GM workers and retirees still will have comprehensive health coverage, some of the best in the nation. And some benefits would be improved if workers ratify the contract in voting that stretches into next week.

But autoworkers wouldn't have as many choices in health and dental plans as they do now, according to a 24-page summary of contract provisions from the UAW.
