Perhaps this is some special thing you have because you were a federal employee.

Not to be snarky, but try to understand that the rest of us do not have that type of insurance.

Be grateful for what you have, and say a prayer for all of those taxpayers who fund it.

As I said, I am paying the same premiums that I payed when employed. I am paying $272.89 a month and the government pays $763.88. Yes, it is the same plan that Congress and the rest of the federal government has except for the military.

The truth is that government employees have better benefits than the private sector, by and large. And that includes pay. It really is unsustainable.
