COBRA is very expensive. Don’t plan on using it when you’re umemployed for long.
As for this “debate”, I always wonder why people arguing against universial healthcare always manage to ignore the children.
Is it your contention that kids should be punished for the “crime” that their parents are poor or unemployed? Remember that kid that died from his cavities in DC (two years ago) because his mom couldn’t afford dental care. Is that what we’re saying “tough luck”?
How is this scenario any different than saying to the child of a sexual predator “tough luck kid, you’re born to a sexual deviant and deserved to be abused”.
Right? The logic is as follows “tough luck kid, you’re born to parents without health insurance and deserve what you get”.
