COBRA is a joke. When I had my son and quit my job to keep my insurance threw the COBRA plan would have cost me about $1000.00 a month. That was back in '92. There was no way I could afford that. Luckily my husband had insurance threw his employer. Now Obama is helping out by paying 65% of the cost of COBRA. But COBRA isn't forever. They used to cut you off after a year. I'm not sure if that's still the case. Anyway thanks to Obama my nephew who lost his job gets to keep health insurance for his kids.....for now.
