  • FMA SPEAKS OUT IN FAVOR OF SELF PLUS ONE - December 11, 2013
  • Lawmakers propose self plus one option for federal health program

    By Kellie Lunney, Government Executive

    In the budget plan, H.J.Res. 59, introduced on Tuesday, December 10, Budget Conference Committee Chairs Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) included a provision calling for the addition of "Self Plus One" coverage within the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).
