Who provides health insurance to US Senators?..?

Linwood Mccory: Federal Employees Health Benefits Program All federal employees, including postal workers and members of both houses of Congress, are eligible for coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Under this program, the federal government negotiates with insurance companies to deliver the widest range of coverage and health plans, with a limit on what insurers can charge and how much profit goes to carriers. On average, federal employees pay about 25 percent of the premium, but some pay considerably more. The system is similar to other employment-based systems, but is much more complicated because each plan varies from state to state and region to region.The Politics of Senator's Health Insurance Senators' health insurance has played a continuing role in America's health care debate, with lawmakers saying that average Americans should have coverage as good as Senators' own. For example, Senator Sherrod Brown refused his insurance, saying! he will not accept it until all Americans have access to affordable health insurance. During then-Senator Barack Obama's run for the presidency, Obama claimed his plan for universal health coverage would provide everyone with access to health care as good as that which members of Congress enjoy.-=-=-=-=-I hope this is helpful....Show more
