Whether or not that entails universal health insurance is debatable but it certainly means protecting the insurance of those who lose their jobs to foreigners as a result of free trade legislation.Ummm...that is why COBRA laws were invented.

"Ummm...that is why COBRA laws were invented."
My wife has had some experience with COBRA, and as far as I know, it only guarantees that someone who has lost a job can maintain their insurance for a number of months by paying the entire premium from their own pocket. This is not worth much to the average worker who has no savings and finds himself in the unemployment line. This is not to say that I favor any government program to solve the problem, I think the government should be reduced to about one tenth of its current size.
