Folks may want to take a look at our material for help with Insurance.

Cobra is a joke, and a bad joke on the American people. When you lose your job you don't have the money to pay 700.00 to 1000.00 a month for insurance!!!!!! Real people can't afford Cobra, its past time for real change of these horrible laws that make it harder for Americans to get and keep even fair health coverage.
The only true benefits of Cobra go to the insurance companies and
greedy goverment officials.
