Not at all.....you just fail to see the difference.
Medicare is a government run plan.
The Federal Employees plan is a government administered plan....with a variety of choices from among private providers, depending on if the employee wants a Chevy or a Cadillac.
And under the Obama and Democratic proposals.....the 2/3 or so of those working Americans with employer-based plans could keep those plans OR consider a plan comparable to the Fed Employees plan with numerous private providers.
There is no proposal to push those on employer-based plans to a Medicare type govt run plan.
One more time....t
here is NO plan for a government-run, single payer system....despite what you read in George Will editorials or hear from right wing talking heads.
