Not having Medicare Part B, there is no doubt you should have FEP BCBS Standard (High) Option. As to wether you are paying more or not, each person(family) is different and it all depends upon what your needs are, income levels, and how comfortable you are.
As far as the Government administering your health care, I think it is more likely you will see changes in the FEHB program, including your BCBS high option, than changes to Medicare Part B. You can already see that happening since members of congress and their staff now get their health care through the exchanges. Cannot comment if that is better or worse but it is a change
