62. COBRA is the original CLINTON health care insurance nightmare

Get laid off from your job - where you are paying maybe 9% of your $ 50,000 salary for insurance
and OTHER benefits.

Find out that since you are in your fifties, it will be hard to find a new job.

Find out that you and the spouse will pay $ 1,000 for on-going coverage through COBRA. Abnd it last 18 months nd then zip.

So at a time when you aare trying to conserve your savings... the origianl CLINTON health insurance "Good Deal" for America's middle class flunks the test.
