As dedicated members of Quince & Co, we value the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare benefits that support our well-being. However, we are collectively concerned about the upcoming transition from Kaiser Permanente to the Aetna/WellMEC plan and wish to address potential challenges this change may bring.
We believe it is important to ensure that all employees have access to affordable, comprehensive healthcare that meets their needs without causing undue financial or medical hardship. Based on the information provided, we have identified several concerns about the new plan, including:
• Hospital Stays: Fixed reimbursements. May leave employees responsible for significant costs.
• Prescription Medications: Limited reimbursements and annual caps could create barriers to accessing necessary medications.
• Out-of-Pocket Costs: The lack of an annual cap under Aetna/WellMEC may expose employees to unlimited financial liability.
• Mental Health Services: Transitioning to new providers could disrupt ongoing care and create gaps in mental health support.
• Urgent Care and Emergency Room Costs: Fixed reimbursements may not align with actual costs, leaving employees vulnerable to unexpected expenses.
We request a transparent review of these concerns and seek clarification on how the company intends to address the financial and medical risks associated with the transition.
By signing this petition, we aim to collectively voice our concerns and foster a constructive dialogue to ensure that our healthcare benefits continue to meet the needs of all employees.

Como miembros dedicados de Quince & Co, valoramos el compromiso de la empresa con ofrecer beneficios de atención médica integrales que apoyen nuestro bienestar. Sin embargo, estamos preocupados colectivamente por la próxima transición de Kaiser Permanente al plan Aetna/WellMEC y deseamos abordar los posibles desafíos que este cambio podría traer.
Creemos que es importante garantizar que todos los empleados tengan acceso a atención médica asequible e integral que satisfaga sus necesidades sin causar dificultades financieras o médicas. Basándonos en la información proporcionada, hemos identificado varias preocupaciones sobre el nuevo plan, que incluyen:
• Hospitalizaciones:Reembolsos fijos. Puede dejar a los empleados a cargo de costos significativos.
• Medicamentos Recetados: Los reembolsos limitados y los límites anuales podrían crear barreras para acceder a medicamentos necesarios.
• Gastos de Bolsillo: La falta de un límite anual bajo Aetna/WellMEC puede exponer a los empleados a una responsabilidad financiera ilimitada.
• Servicios de Salud Mental: La transición a nuevos proveedores podría interrumpir la atención continua y crear brechas en el apoyo a la salud mental.
• Costos de Atención de Urgencia y Sala de Emergencias: Los reembolsos fijos pueden no alinearse con los costos reales, dejando a los empleados vulnerables a gastos inesperados.
Solicitamos una revisión transparente de estas preocupaciones y buscamos aclaraciones sobre cómo la empresa planea abordar los riesgos financieros y médicos asociados con la transición.
Al firmar esta petición, nuestro objetivo es expresar colectivamente nuestras preocupaciones y fomentar un diálogo constructivo para garantizar que nuestros beneficios de atención médica sigan satisfaciendo las necesidades de todos los empleados.

A few questions: Would being on this plan preclude me from remaining eligible for Covered California? Can I opt out at any time? Is there an option for a higher level of coverage with contribution from the employee? Is there opportunity for those of us with children and family to extend this coverage to protect them? The specifics of this fixed indemnity plan would not be sufficient to protect the basic healthcare needs of the hourly employees of Quince and Co. In addition, in California, an employer must provide at least 60 days' notice before making any material changes to their employee health insurance plan, as per the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements; this means notifying employees about changes in coverage, cost-sharing, network providers, or other significant plan modifications at least 60 days before they take effect. These changes were announced less than 2 weeks ago. As dedicated members of the Quince and Co. team, we humbly ask you to reconsider cutting our benefits so drastically. Thank you.

The switch in insurance also leaves us unable to provide insurance for our partners and spouses.
