It’s very nearly Open Season for the US Federal Employee (and Retiree) Health Benefits Plan. This is “Fed Speak” for the special time per year when you can opt-in to the program or change plans, coverage modes, etc. It will run from 9 November through 14 December 2009. This has a lot to do with retirement for some folks … because if you carry the right plan … I’m featuring one here, the one I have used for years and am very happy with … insurance woes for you and your qualified family members are gone for life.
I know that in the US there is tremendous smoke and thunder reverberating across the land every day, but let me tell you something … after 45 tears experience with the Fed Employees program:
It’s cheap (so far as any health insurance is cheap), it’s well managed, it’s one of the most efficient plans in the world … often been copied by other countries who are able to provide for their citizens … and here’s the fact most politicians and irresponsible journalists (who all have their coverage, by the way) who hurl ridiculous charges around won’t tell you … it’s essentially the plan that every Congressman and Senator gets into for life, and they never leave it, because they know well that in this case the government is doing far, far better than for profit opportunists can do … they just don’t want most of you to have it .. haves telling the have not’s they don’t need what the haves have.
Anyway, no more politics, if you are eligible, don’t miss out on Open Season and it’s hard to beat GEHA’s plans and services. (Again I have no relationship with these guys except as a highly satisfied customer)
