Dear Bouygues UK Management Team,
In response to your letter to GMC members dated Thursday 29th November, we would like to inform you of our refusal to sign the proposed GMC alternative on the ground that BUPA Select is not comparable to the GMC cover we currently benefit from.
Many of us came to the UK on the basis that, despite not being offered an expatriation contract, we were at least to get a private medical insurance as good as the one provided to the expatriates. Many of us also joined Bouygues UK knowing that we were getting GMC as a Private Medical Insurance. And some of us subscribed to the alternative PMI, BUPA, whilst benefitting from the possibility to upgrade to GMC in the future.
We understand that, as of 31st of December 2013, the GMC PMI cover will cease to be available to employees.
We officially express our expectation to be offered, as of 1st of January 2014, an equivalent alternative under the initially agreed conditions on individual basis (i.e. family covered or not, subsidy or not, etc…).
We expect our request will meet your understanding and prompt action.
Regards,

I have been hearing from so many of you about how BUPA just does not hold up against the original GMC coverage and frankly the anxiety about this switch is really palpable in every single message I get. I am currently compiling a list of these concerns to make sure they cannot just ignore our collective refusal to accept something that is clearly not equivalent

This is completely unfair. We were promised this coverage when we started and now they just want to swap it for something cheaper? Not acceptable.
