Wonder if it might make sense for the social safety net to include such a provision for workers of businesses that go under. If we're not going to have universal public coverage, might as well add provision for such an extenuating circumstance as that.

Unemployment benefits should already apply wouldn't they?

Should provide something better than COBRA

I love that COBRA isn't just paying the entirety of the health insurance your employer was paying (or partially paying for you), but an additional 5% fee on top of that.

Talk about insult on injury. Gotta love the lobbying that allows that.

I think it makes perfect sense - in fact, divorcing healthcare entirely from employment.
