16. This is 2009 Federal Employees Health Benefits Program,
Edited on Sun May-31-09 01:13 AM by elleng
differs from Congress' plan.


EDIT: I'm not sure it differs from Congress' plan; looks like congress has an OPTION for a slightly different plan.

'Politicians are part of the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program. They have a choice of between 5 and 10 health plans in each city. Some are HMOs, some are regular insurance with preferred provider programs. They select a plan they like, the federal government pays a large portion of the premium, and they pay the rest. For more expensive plans with a lot of choices of doctors and hospitals and more services, Senators and Congressmen pay more. For the basic plan they pay a little premium.'
