I believe the payments are something like 5.5 BILLION/yr to prefund retiree health benefits at 100% for the next 75 yrs---is that not a bit of a fix to cause some fiscal problems? A new proposal to prefund at something like 83% amortized over 40 yrs alone would probably fix the whole thing without all the drama if passed.
