3. Do fed workers pay insurance premiums?

As a state employee (NV), a chunk o'cash goes toward my monthly health insurance premium each payday. Will the fed workers actually owe insurance premium or is it totally covered by the fed?

We've never been fully furloughed, but have had to take forced unpaid days off for quite a few years. The two days a month furlough hit our pocketbook hard. Missing an entire paycheck is an inconceivable idea to me.
