Stimulating

The National Active and Retired Federal Employees is turning out the troops to try to convince the Obama administration to include premium conversion in the stimulus package currently getting hackey-sacked about on Capitol Hill. That means that federal annuitants, members of the armed services and military retirees could use pre-tax dollars to pay for their health insurance. It's a perennial battle, and a time when a lot of folks are calling for stuff to come out of the stimulus package, it seems unlikely that a lot more's going to get in.
