HSS voted August 6 to switch your healthcare PPO coverage to Blue Shield CA starting in January 2025. BSC is working closely with us to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible, and has agreed to negotiate payment with any doctor or hospital around the country that accepts Medicare. Be sure to start the process now, so you will be ready for the transition. Call the BSC hotline they have set up for us at 800/ 370-8852. If you are still having any problems, fill out the form below to let us know.

We are committed to taking the legal and political actions necessary to achieve our goals. Our 7,000 supporters and contributors have one common goal: to protect and enhance the health and retirement benefits we have earned during out years of dedicated service.
