Federal civil service employees don’t get free health insurance. They pay for it (hundreds of dollars a month). As far as I know, they choose from a variety of health care plans similar to what you can purchase as a private citizen. I think they have access to partially subsidized insurance, (mail handlers?), but the cost is only slightly lower. On the other hand, I think the US House and Senate get free care. Active duty military, for obvious reasons, also get free care. Military retirees are covered by Tricare and must pay a small fee for their coverage.
