Hanging On to Health Coverage, if the Job Goes Away

Just saw a man who was laid off and didn't think he could afford to pick up COBRA for his family. I informed him of the recent government action to subsidize the cost and extend COBRA coverage for the unemployed.

Just forwarding this article in case anyone may need COBRA in the future.
