Health Coverage Not Universal for Federal Workforce
The Washington Post; subscription may be required Link to more items from this source
Sept. 18, 2009
Excerpt: The health insurance program that covers President Obama and members of Congress has been touted during the current debate as a model for overhauling the nation's health-care system. But one overlooked aspect of the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program is that many federal workers go without health insurance for themselves or members of their families.... It's not certain how many federal workers can't afford health insurance. Information from the Office of Personnel Management indicates 11 percent of the workforce does not participate in the program. (There are approximately 2 million civilian employees, not including postal workers.) Some of those nonparticipants probably have insurance through a spouse.
