What’s so special about the freaking post office?

They don’t want to pick a fight with these idiots, because they know that it’s just a matter of time before the USPS (at least as we know it now) is going to cease to exist.

USPS can independently set up its own medical insurance system ~ plus, there's this law that was passed called the Postal Reorganization Act that guarantees that whatever benefit package is provided will be equal to or better than that originally provided by the federal government.

By eliminating the federal employees from the FEHB program USPS employees come out substantially ahead. Their jobs keep them physically fit.

The state exchange (or federal exchange) operations aren't designed to provide CHEAPER or LOWER COST insurance ~ they are designed to FORCE yout' and entrepreneurs into health insurance whether they need it or not. The insurance packages that will be available will be substantially more costly than the FEHB packages.

Guess who gets to pay the higher cost?
