79. Trust me, healthcare for Federal Government employee's...........
isn't all it's cracked up to be!

I've been a Postal employee for 14 years now and it isn't what it seems to be! The dental plan sucks outloud. The Health plan doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.

As such, I was injured on the job, in June of 1999 and DOL/OWCP sucks as well! I lost a lot of money because of my injury, the forms are complicated and quite frankly, they are too nit-picky on the diagnostic codes. If you're single, it pays 66 2/3% of your base salary. Married, it pays 75% of your base salary.

The schedule award of permanent conditions is outdated. I lost over 60% use of my arm and they only gave me 11%!

You'd be better off to sue the individual agency.........
