Example of how bad COPRA is...
I lost my job two years ago and to purchase through COPRA the family plan was $1200 a month. From the same insurance carrier I quoted out THE SAME PLAN and the cost was $450/month. When the insurance carrier knew that I was able to take COPRA they denied me coverage at the lower cost. COPRA isn’t always good, especially when it limits ones ability to get something else.

What is the sustainability of Cobra? If we answered that simple question with some good honest statistics, then we might be on our way to a serious health care discussion.
Why haven't the health care reform advocates given us an analysis of plans like Cobra? Why haven't they examined Massachusetts and Hawaii's government plans and made detailed, statistical assessments of the failures and successes? Why are we only given the statistic about how many uninsured there are?
The health care reform presented by the current government is a total “trust us” phenomenon. It isn't about health care, but about government intervention. If it were truly about health care, they would be giving us serious facts and analysis.
