WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key U.S. Democratic lawmaker charged on Wednesday that members of the military's civilian health plan will suffer if a stalemate over health insurance reimbursement is not remedied.

At issue is controversial legislation that cuts about $13 billion in federal pay to insurers such as UnitedHealth Group Inc and Aetna Inc. The companies contract with the government's Medicare health insurance plan for 44 million elderly and disabled people.

A former Aetna supervisor-turned-Albany Avenue nightclub owner was dumbfounded when city, state and federal law enforcement agents came to her Bloomfield home in November 2004 to search for drugs, guns and money. Lois Keating had gotten caught up in a large-scale probe into her husband's drug trafficking business. For 10 months, local promoter Noel Keating, 48, was the prime target of Operation Big Boy, designed to bust up what authorities then described as one of the city's biggest crack cocaine rings. Sixty people ultimately were arrested and convicted. Federal authorities had wiretap and surveillance evidence that Lois had picked up a package from Noel's partner in the drug business. In April 2005, she pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to distribute powder cocaine, and federal prosecutors said she admitted that on several occasions she picked up packages of money from the partner. She was looking at five years to life. This week, she caught a break.
