Comment on COBRA Extension Bill Introduced by Harry Johnson

We all may as well resign ourswlves to the fact that the government is not going to extend cobra. Why should they when January 1st they’ll be selling health insurance of their own. Why should they ley people buy insurance somewhere else since they will be selling it. My wife spent hours on the phone to find out what the plan is about. Her and mine premiums will be approx 1100 a month. The deductible will be 2500. After that there is coinsurance of 30% to us. No cap! To some it up for people who don’t ubderstand it. You will pay 100% of doctors visits, prescriptions, test, emrgency room, and any surgerys until you have paid 2500 dollars. You will then pay 30% of everything after that. So forinstance if you went to the emergency room Jamuary 1st for a kidney stone attack and they ended up keeping you there and operating on you and dimessed you four days later. If the bill was 30,000 dollars which is quite possible you would pay the first 2500 plus 30% of the remaining 27,500 for a total out of pocket of 10,750! Plus of course your monthly premium of 1100.00. Without congress passing the cobra extension I believe their will be sharp increase in bankrupcy filings due to medical bills.

These rules “permit” up to 60 days to notify the Plan Administrator of a COBRA event. The Plan Administrator is then permitted another 14 days to notify the QB. In other words, there is a total of 74 days prior to the start of the election period.

Please extend the Cobra subsidy again. It’s not fair to people, who through no fault of their own, were laid off after June 1, 2010. I was laid off February 28 so I made it by the grace of God. Shouldn’t everyone have the same chance? I think so.

Please extend the COBRA Eligibility Subsidy (65%/35%) past the current cut-off date of May 31, 2010. I just lost my job after 13+ years at the same organization on June 7, 2010.
I need this subsidy as do thousands of others who were involuntarily terminated. I need the stimulus please.
