> I'm not talking about COBRA

Public service announcement: you can't COBRA on companies that go bankrupt. COBRA allows you to keep your group plan from your former employer. If that plan goes away, since the company goes away, you will be unable to COBRA. May have changed with Obamacare but this is how it was in the past.

Not sure how that takes away from COBRA not being enough...
It doesn't. It's just that original comment implied that COBRA might be of at least some limited help in this case.
