Actually I don't believe I do have to join.  Nothing in my health care 
insurance company, or the feds plan, require me to join.  Spent quite a 
bit of time reading brochures, calling OPM, GEHA, and a series of emails 
to a friend of mine who happens to have been a personnel director at a 
largish Forest Service office.  The biggest problem will, most likely, 
be the inability of the medical industry to realize it.  :-)
