Federal government employees enrolled in the Federal Employees health Benefits Program will pay an average 8.8 percent more in health-care costs in 2010, according to figures released Tuesday by the Office of Personnel Management.
The combined cost to employees and the government will increase 7.4 percent, compared with 7 percent in 2009, Kichak said. The government contributes approximately 70 percent of the total cost of a plan’s premium. All full- and part-time employees of the executive, judicial and legislative branches and the Postal Service are eligible to enroll in FEHBP.

That would be saggy.
