Senate Dems Push To Reinstate COBRA After GOP Block
Huffington Post – Sens. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) introduced legislation Tuesday to reinstate the healthcare subsidies for fired workers that expired a month ago.
"Extending the COBRA health care premium assistance has widespread support in the Senate," Casey said in a statement. "Like unemployment insurance and aid for the states, this measure to help laid off workers pay for health insurance is being blocked. I will continue to look at all options to get this vital legislation passed."
