SECTION 1. PROHIBITION ON GIVING ADVANTAGE IN PUBLIC-PRIVATE

              BENEFITS THAN BENEFITS PROVIDED TO FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

    In the case of any public-private competition held under Office of

            (1) failing to offer employer-sponsored health insurance 
        benefits to workers to be employed under the contract for the 
        performance of such activity or function; or
            (2) offering employer-sponsored health insurance benefits 
        to such workers that are less than the benefits provided for
