There’s a path forward that makes money appear out of nowhere? Every day of time taken admiring the problem is less money available when reality is accepted.

Nope. But that isn't the crux of the immediate issue however.
-The pre-medicare age retired guys now have a stipend to buy health insurance.
-The pension fund board decided this stipend HAS to be used through a single company, Aon or healthcare.gov.
-In many cases, Aon has NO relationships with healthcare providers in regions of Ohio.
-The money that IS available could easily be put to better use for the retired members elsewhere, but it has too many strings attached.
The company being forced upon the retired members is in... Chicago, the pension fund executive director is from... Chicago and used to manage the police pension fund there. I think people are right to be skeptical. The Ohio Police and Fire Pension operates under the purview of the Ohio State Legislature, but not as it relates to heath insurance. That is up to the members. Make sense?
