but that is one unfortunate consequence of the ACA, which Office of Personnel Management has been trying to resolve. Repugs don't like it because it will enhance President Obama's approval, and they hate him.

The Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan may be the BEST program, with excellent 'exchanges,' and those who use it, like me, a former federal employee, DO pay premiums, it is NOT free, there are several types of plans as with ACA, 'bronze, gold, platinum.'

Many have erroneously argued that Congressmembers and their staffs don't pay anything but its not the case; they (and we) pay premiums as do most people whose health insurance is provided by and subsidized by their employer.
