My understanding is that the health insurance is still better than what is typically available for private sector employees. The pension system is not nearly as good as it used to be, true, but it does exist, which is not true for most private sector employees.

I've worked both sides of the fence, so I'm not flinging arrows.

Same here. The 4 different insurance products I've used in the private sector are much better than I ever had access to as a government employee.
