They pay their premiums the same as every other FEHB participant. 28 pecent pre-tax payroll deduction is the same as pretty much every employer/employee situtation. Employee pays around 30% employer around 70%. That's just the way things work.
We'd kill to receive even half of that benefit. Frickin' awesome.

If he doesn't resign or die they can't get rid of him without 2/3 of the Senate expelling him. It would be smart to leave him be, he can't vote without being there. Which puts Manchin and Sinema back in play.
Up until a couple weeks ago, Casey was out of commission too. PA not having much luck lately.

Given the type of work you do I assume you could have picked up a civvie job at any time if you wanted to. Then you could have the whole benefit instead of half.

You are apparently clueless. The difference between "whining" and "sarcasm" eluded you... No surprise there.
Well he chose the path of being a Ward of the State, so his Obamacare is paid for by us working class stiffs...
It's good to be a welfare queen...Just ask HH

The Fetterman case is one of the more baffling ones I’ve ever seen, and I’ve witnessed all sorts of bottom-feeding antics from the Democrats ever since I first began my journey as a conservative activist almost 40 years ago. The Democrats were so desperate to flip a longtime Republican seat that they went all in on a recovering stroke victim.

If Fetterman had any decent human beings around him, they would have encouraged him to focus on his health and make sure that he completely recovered.

Unfortunately for him, he was surrounded by Democrats.

We’re now forced to witness Fetterman’s painful attempt at assimilating into the rigors of being a United States Senator. Sure, it’s not the toughest job in the world, but it does have its demands. And — as I’m sure his children will one day greatly regret — it is a very public job. Fetterman’s post-stroke struggles are being chronicled and preserved on video.

Fetterman is finally back at work, and the Democrats didn’t waste any time giving him a chance to experience some cringe-worthy moments on camera, which Matt wrote about:

His May 2022 stroke left him incapacitated for weeks, and he was lucky to survive. Despite this, he chose to continue campaigning, which could have potentially led to permanent brain damage, according to those close to him. Despite his prolonged period away from the Senate, it doesn’t appear that he’s experienced any improvement in his recovery from his stroke, and that was abundantly clear from watching him chair the Senate Subcommittee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Even the Washington Post couldn’t deny the obvious. “Though his voice stumbled at times while reading from prepared notes, Fetterman appeared in good spirits as he gaveled in a hearing focused on the benefits of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP,” the paper reported. “Republicans have proposed increasing the number of people who must meet work requirements to qualify for SNAP.”
Video from the hearing is difficult to watch. We all know much of these hearings are scripted, but Fetterman sounds like he’s reading from his prepared remarks for the first time and doesn’t seem to understand what he’s saying. I’d feel bad for him if it wasn’t his fault he was in this position in the first place.
