I Didn't Know I Had to Sign Up

The average GTF receives maybe 7 notices in any one term from the union informing them that they need to sign up for health care. We over-bombard. We send notices to every member, whether they have signed up or not, because they may have a colleague who might mention that they haven't signed up and Johnny GTF can be Johnny-on-the-spot with the HC 411.

So, when a GTF calls me and tells me that they went to the dentist last November and the insurance company is refusing to pay for it, it frustrates me to no end to hear them say that they didn't know they had to sign up for health care. This is just one of those things that you should make sure you have taken care of before you go see a doctor, yeah?
