Rept. 96-154) Amends the Retired Federal Employees Health Benefits Act to change the amount of the Government's contribution toward the subscription charge for the health benefits plan of a retired Federal employee to a monthly contribution equal to: (1) the current monthly premium for supplementary medical insurance under part B of Title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act, for an employee enrolled as an individual; and (2) twice such amount for an employee enrolled for self and family coverage. Prohibits a retired employee from receiving a Government contribution for more than one health plan or from receiving a contribution if such employee is covered under a plan of another individual.
