Hon. Thomas M. Davis said "This bill, H.R. 1826, does amend the FEHBP to expand the power of the Office of Personnel Management to sanction fraudulent health care providers. The bill authorizes OPM to debar and fine fraudulent health providers that are participating in the FEHBP... One of the important things this does is it takes about 5,000 employees and annuitants from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Board who are currently ineligible for the FEHBP. Because of a change in their coverage, they can now be covered by the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan. This is very, very helpful to them. This in no way, shape or form reduces the rates that other Federal employees are paying for this. I think it is a very critical point that needs to be made, and it will give adequate protection and health care to people who are generally under the Federal envelope in these two areas." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
