Didn't join AARP -- it's more like they joined me when I turned 50.

You are right -- there isn't really a Federal Employees Health Care Program, although it is called that. It is an opportunity to pick from a wide variety of plans including HMOs, and at a variety of levels at costs negotiated by the government. I forget exactly how many plans there are, but I know there are at least 30. So essentially an employee can decide how much they want to spend. (They can also opt out). When you work for the government, the government subsidizes some portion of the premiums (but not all). When you retire, you can still participate, but with no government subsidy.

I can't really say what a "single payer" program is, because I'm not sure how that is defined.

When he says that he wants people to have the same kind of "program", I'm assuming that he wants to put in place some kind of program that would allow people to participate in group coverage with a variety of choices. I'm guess that the government would subsidize some level of payment. But, I don't know because I haven't seen any details of what they propose.
