Two health care policies are-FEHB and CHIP
FEHB( Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan)- Its provide the medical benefits to the full time federal employess. Active service employees, retired employees and their dependents are covered under this plan.Government cover 72 % of weighted average premium of all plans but will not exceed 75% of the premium for any one plan. This is very old plan that is launched in 1960 by federal government.

Both medical policy is the part of social securites of US Federal Government in which government provide health cover of different class of socienty.
USA has a verygood social securities systems by which government provide medical insurance to the different class(old age people, federal employees, poor child, poor family and arm forces) of the society according to the requirements through different types of medical plans.
But the health care expenses are very high compare to other develop nations and a lagre number of US citzen do not afford this expenses. So, government has to need of increase the depth of plan and also should control the health expenses. A big part of US population are going to old and they are not prepare for their health expenses.There are lot of disease like, stress, cancer, corona, hearth desease etc became the part of lives in the USA these days.
Government should use the following strategies that may increase the awareness, education and prevention of the disease:-
