The White House needs feedback on the COBRA provision of ARRA



The Health Care Industry as well as citizens need to let the President and their Senators and Representatives how it is going with the COBRA subsidy and extension.

Because, I am not hearing any complaints.

It has been over a year since ARRA has been assisting Americans to keep their health care insurance. There are millions of adults and children benefiting from that. That means there are hospitals and providers, including physicians, that have not gone into bankruptcy after the economic collapse and have been receiving revenues even if those covered haven't been able to pay all their co-pays and deductibles.

And how about the Governors of the States? Are they finding relief in knowing their citizens have been able to maintain their insurance rather than enrolling in subsidized health care.

This effort by the Obama Administration and the Democratic House and Senate has saved the nation a great deal of trouble. They have saved families from falling 'outside' the health care system and subscribing to voodoo for their health care coverage.

SO.

How is everyone doing? I think it is time to hear from those that received the benefit either directly or indirectly.

I might add, the EXTENSION was necessary because the House and Senate didn't complete the bill by the requested dates of the President. He simply hates for people to suffer unduly because folks in the Legislature are OBSTRUCTED from carrying forward much needed reform for the nation.
