How this is supposed to provide assistance or help to an unemployed person with a family to take care of? It is very scary to me knowing that my family is without health insurance with the cost of basic health care cost as unaffordable as they are.

Am I qualified for COBRA Stimulus? COBRA is too much for our family, it costs us $1,200.00/month. We can not shop for another insurance due to the existing illness that my husband has. Can someone help to find the solution? I was laid off in June 2008, my former employer paid my medical insurance in July and August, I started to pay my COBRA in Sept 2008.

What if you quit your job before they laid you off and found another job but it did not offer insurance but you quilfy for cobra from you previce employer would the 65% still apply to us even thou I quit and found another job before I got laid off when I knew my company was going to be laiding off at least 1000 emplyees? CAN ANYONE ANWER THAT QUESTION THAT KNOWS THE CORRECT ANSWER! My benfits department tells me no, because we voluntary quit but if I would have waited and let them lay me off then I would have no money, no house, no car, so why doesn't it apply to me as well?

His insurance is based on how many hours he works in a quarter. We will have to start paying for his insurance next month. Does this qualify for the Cobra stimulus?
