An amendment offered by Reps. Terry, R-NE., Gingrey, R-GA., and Blunt, R-MO., would allow all Americans access to the exact same coverage plan as the Federal Health Benefits(FEHB) Plan. The FEHB plan offers premium coverage to Members of Congress, allowing them to choose from a multitude of private insurance providers. Passage of this amendment would meet President Obama's "guarantee that every uninsured American could get the same kind of health care that Members of Congress give themselves" as opposed to forcing all Americans into the substandard, bureaucrat-run healthcare system that will result from this bill.
