Not quite accurate. The plans are the same available to the rest of the country. Federal employees have to purchase their health care like anyone else. Some have already been paying taxes on their health plans.
Choosing a health plan in Federal service is a real chore. Even just the list of available plans can run several pages in a booklet that is full size (8.5 x 11). If you want to check out the specifics of a particular plan you must ask for a copy of that booklet from HR.

Congress on the other hand is a different animal!

The feds provide government run health insurance to their employees! So much of it was a farce (on the side of the administration). I thought the Republicans did a respectable job, but I still don't trust them either. Actions speak louder than words, and even though they are fighting the health care bill, I still believe they would be for larger government if they were in power.
