COBRA Insurance not much of an option for the unemployed.

S ome times those good ideas just don't pan out the way you think they will. COBRA ( Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ) insurance for those that lose their jobs and try to maintain their health coverage quickly realize that COBRA really isn't much of an option at all these days when it the payment for it consumes just about all of your unemployment check. Another indicator that healthcare is a privilege in the U.S. We are still not helping people who need it. Incorporating COBRA payments as part of an unemployment package for people who lost their jobs would go along way.
