This bill would bring financial stability to the Postal Service. First, it eliminates the mandate that the Postal Service pre-fund its retiree health care benefits decades in advance, a requirement asked of no other public or private agency. Second, it adopts private sector best practices by maximizing the integration of postal annuitants into Medicare – a program to which the Postal Service and its workers have contributed over $34 billion. Additionally, the legislation benefits the public by codifying the mandate to provide six-day mail delivery.
