There is no "gold-plated" insurance for current or former elected federal office holders. They can remain on FEHB if they chose and pick a plan that suits their needs, but it's not free and enrollees pay about a 25% share of the premium. Plan offerings are from the same health insuramce companies with which we are all familiar with a couple exceptions for specific federal employee groups.
