I wish that were the case.

You think that federal employees (or federal retirees like myself), aren't actually paying any health insurance premiums like everyone else?

I'm paying something like $327/month for my BCBS + another $55/month for extra insurance for dental/vision. I just peeped at what is expected for 2026 and the BCBS looks to be going up over $80 more per month to ~$408.
