Rick Santorum: “The 1999 Defense Authorization bill before us contains a demonstration project that would allow some DoD- eligible…”

On the recordJune 25, 1998
The 1999 Defense Authorization bill before us contains a demonstration project that would allow some DoD- eligible retirees to join FEHBP plans, under a separate risk pool. It is my understanding that this ensures that DoD retirees who enroll in this demonstration project are able to choose from competing, private sector FEHBP plans. It is also my understanding that retirees, like other FEHBP-eligibles, will be able to choose among plans that offer fully integrated health care benefits that use market-based competition to control cost and improve quality of care.
