[quote=BarTopDancer;308551]Leo - what would you do if either you or your wife lost their job and insurance wasn't available. Or you both lost your jobs.

Now you have to use your savings and UI to live off of and pay for COBRA.

Now your savings are gone and you can no longer afford COBRA.

Now you have no insurance.

What would you do?

Don't say it won't happen, because it can. It is happening to thousands of people across the country.

What would you do?

And COBRA is oh so affordable when you've lost your job... I used to feel the same way SCA. It was someone elses problem... I had insurance so sure, I could see the importance of it, but it wasn't urgent. Things sure do change when it's your family that's affected. My health insurance wasn't all that great - or so I thought until I had none. I didn't know how good I had it.

And letting go of COBRA had to be done. I got a bill for nearly $3,000 for one month. OMFG! Just can't afford it. Well I could - but we would just pay for that and be homeless.

Health care is out of control.
