No, I am saying that as a retiree, the government no longer subsidizers any part of my healthcare.  The benefit that I get is that I am permitted to remain as part of the negotiated pool.  Yes, the government subsidizes part of the working civilians health care cost, but not those that are RETIRED.  Just as my cost of living adjustment has nothing to do with any raises the federal workstaff may get.  I get the same cost of living adjustment as those military retirees and those that get social security.
