What is the Congressional retirement plan?

I was under the very good government retirement plan (CSRS)and eventually, I was allowed to also have a Thrift Savings Plan (but no matching contributions). A very good deal indeed (and one of the things that kept me working for the government all those years despite lucrative outside offers), but in the early 80's all new employees then fell under the much less rewarding Federal Employees Retirement (FERS) which is made up of SS, a tiny gov't pension and their contribution to the Thrift Savings Plan (they had matching contributions).

Under the government health insurance, I also have BCBS, but I don't think I'm paying anything near $700 a month. Retirees are not subsidized, but I get to participate in the group plan.
Is your $700 a month self or a family plan?
