I'm a retired federal employee covered by the FEHBP, Federal Employee's Health Benefit Plan, and I want to keep this plan as my current health care plan, too. And I don't want the prices to skyrocket, either. No way do I want to go on Obamacare. I'm as helpless as the next citizen as to what the government is going to do. I just roll with the punches and I hope the government doesn't rain any more punches down on me.

I'm not eligible for Social Security because my work time is federal, I don't have enough credits to qualify for Social Security and even if I did, the government would take back approx. 60 percent of it in the 'government pension offset' which prevents government retirees from double dipping.

As far as healthcare goes, SS doesn't come into play. It is whether or not your eligible for Medicare. It is my understanding that if one is eligible for Medicare, Medicare becomes the primary provider and your regular insurance becomes secondary.
