Will the current subsidy of COBRA in the stimulus package be extended? |
|
We need to find this out because when the subsidy ends we will have to find cheaper insurance (probably catastrophic only) as we cannot afford $1700 a month. Also, where can we go to look for other plans? We live in FL if that helps. And YES WE HAVE PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS so I am sure that nobody would want take us. I am a 2-time breast cancer survivor, had thyroid cancer last year and dh has type II diabetes. We have four kids and always paid our bills, own a small home and have no debt but dh has not been able to find a job with benefits (he is doing a contracting job through the end of the year for 30% less pay, however).
Just point me in a direction and I'll do the work.

2. I don't know, but I will kick this for you. |

I'd like to know as well. Unfortunately, all I have seen is in relation to extending UC.

I also want to know. I doubt that it will be extended, or at any rate that it will be done as part of an extension of UI benefits.
