That the new rules will require Philly teachers to contribute to the cost of their health insurance plan; allegedly just like all or most other teachers in the state.

That is what is being presented as the major effect of this change. I don't recall any of the other items that Chas. P. mentions, being mentioned in our so-called "news" programs.

I guess that bit about retirees losing pensions just isn't considered major.
