Dean Born v. City of Slidell

hWe granted certiorari in this matter to determine whether a retiree of the City of Slidell, plaintiff Mr. Dean Born, may continue participating in the City of Slidell’s *1228health insurance plan following the City’s adoption of Ordinance No. 3493, which requires each city retiree to apply for Medicare coverage upon reaching the age of sixty-five. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the Court of Appeal’s finding that the City cannot terminate plaintiffs desired plan coverage and require him to accept Medicare coverage, where plaintiff retired before the effective date of the Ordinance.
