the idea is that you are allowed to keep your health insurance, just by craig -- paying the premiums.e is the catch. you need a job. a lot of people could not afford cobra. a lot people to not realize this. this was hugely important to so through the recovery act, we said that we are going to subsidize 65% of the costs of what your premiums were, so that you can keep youu health insurance, even as you are looking for jobs, trying to get back on your feet. if your premium was $1,000 a month, now it only cost you three ever $50 a month. -- $350 a month. we have sustained that for one year, and we think it is important to sustain it for at least another year. there are still a lot of folks out of work. the unemployment rate is still high. this is being debated in congress right now. dennis, the answer is, what we need is to make sure that congress follows through on its commitment to go ahead and maintained cobra until people are working at a higher rate again. now, that is not a long-term solution. the problem is that for a lot of folks like dennis, once cobra ran out, they were out of
