Why should Congress and Federal employees/retirees have to have the Government pay for prescription drug care when we have perfectly good Federal Employees Health Benefit Plans? Bad enough they put us all in Medicare Part A (vast majority of Federal Employees keep their FEHB when they hit 65 and don't use Medicare but have to pay every two weeks into Medicare) when federal employees have a perfectly good plan. At least that is what the NARFE Magazine says.

Pay over $200 a month for FEHB family plan of Blue Cross/Blue Shield that includes a modified prescription benefit program -- get a discount on prescriptions. Why would you want to put all of those people in prescription drug benefit programs when they don't need it?

I consider this article biased against Congress and Federal Employees without looking into details. Flame away but there are some really loyal Federal Employees and Members of Congress that get lumped in with the bad ones!

Shall we ban this article and the poster, too?

Were not talking about good federal employees getting lumped in with the bad ones. We're talking about federal employees getting lumped in with the rest of us. Don't be trying to change the subject now.

After passing this prescription drug bill, which I will be stuck paying for, Congress ranks just slightly above the Ebola Virus in popularity with me.
