Briefly. the group insurance program authorized by the bill would cover nearly all civilian employees in the executive. legislative. and judicial branches of the United States Government. including Members of Congress. Federal judges. and employees of the District of Columbia Government. The Commission could. by regulation. exclude persons whose coverage would be administratively impracticable such as parttime or intermittent employees. Noncitizen employees with permanent duty station outside a State or the District of Columbia would be excluded from coverage. Each eligible employee. without medical examination. would be automatically covered unless he elects to the contrary. Therefore. participation in the plan would be entirely voluntary.
