Stimulus

I read online (either cnn.com or msnbc.com, but I'm not sure which) that the stimulus bill is going to help with COBRA costs. For those people who lose/lost their jobs between September 2008 and December 2009, the federal government intends to help people by picking up around 60 or 65% of the costs of COBRA.

When I read the information, it was before today (Mr. President's day to sign the bill) so I would check the info more carefully to make sure that it made the final cut. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because with the economy doing what it's doing, I don't want to have to foot the whole cost of COBRA alone...
