I may be wrong, but I believe that ALL federal employees have their choices from the same group of health plans.

True, maybe I should have used the word "eligible for" the same coverage. But that is a far cry from the silly post that his coverage was expiring and etc. WE have a shortage of common sense here at time, I mean how long has Tim Johnson been in the hospital now?

I mean how long has Tim Johnson been in the hospital now?

About as long as I have been in the last two years, counting rehabilitative care. I have been making it on a Medicare HMO.

Let's get this straight. Tony is NOT a President, Senator, or Congressman, but a federal executive branch employee subject to the same GS schedule and insurance benefits (and limitations) as other federal employees. I'm not sure if he is SES level or not, but regardless, government insurance plans, nice as they are, do have coverage limits, particularly with cancer treatments.

So, unless you are a government employee with insider knowledge of available group plans for federal civil servants, I'll write your comments off as ignorance of how federal benefits actually work.
