For federal employees - what is happening to our health insurance? My husband is the fed employee and I don't want to make him feel more pressure, but I need to know.

If I recall correctly, insurance continues and all premiums come out when we get back pay.

Government will continue to pay their share and your portion will be taken out once salary and back pay are restored. Don’t panic.
