President Obama is in Oslo today and he hasn't uttered one word publicly about extending the Cobra subsidy for the unemployed. Congress is apparently diverted with Healthcare reform etc.and although a few legislators have tried to move this extension, time is running out for those like myself.

Laid off in March, I have barely been able to pay the $163 a month with the subsidy. But without it to pay a full Cobra premium of $500 would not be possible. Ergo, I will lose my health insurance most likely.

What bothers me the most is that the Democrats cannot seem to come out and make a push or even a definitive statement on this.
They are leaving us dangling in the wind.

If this Cobra subsidy is not renewed, I will try my best to vote accordingly in 2010 and I hope others will do the same.
