   Comments: I am one of the many that lost jobs prior to September 1. And I am paying more than $1000 a month in COBRA premiums. Needless to say, it is putting more than a strain on the bank account.

   Comments: I have been out of and actively seeking a new position since January of 2008. It seems to me that this Cobra assistance should be eligible for everyone who lost their job in 2008. Job layoffs were happening all during 2008, not just beginning in September. It seems to me that nothing in the stimulus package except the continuation of unemployment helps those of us who are out of work prior to Sept., have continued to pay mortgages even while unemployed, continued paying the bills, and healthcare. (By the way, I worked in the Obama campaign. I am not a Republican.)

   Comments: My husband was laid off prior to 9/1/08. We are paying $930.00 per month for Cobra coverage and definitely need help in doing so. Please eliminate the date of 9/1/08 as the cut-off to help ease this burden on my family. Thank you.

    Comments: Many of us out here in career transition could really use the benefit of another 9 months being subdised by the government. Also people who were laid off prior to Sept 1, 2008 need help as well, it is a very tough job market for everyone!!! We all need your help!!!!

    Name: Terry Wollin on Mar 4, 2009

    Comments: Please. My husband was laid off Jul 31, 2008. I have diabetes and can not obtain insurance any other place. Change this arbitrary date. Since COBRA is only good for 18 months why not allow anyone on COBRA to benefit from the subsidy

    Comments: Please help us who were laid off with the full 18 months. The insurance for my husband and me is 858.oo a month. We cannot afford this even for one month with our 500.00 a month income from unemployment. Please help others who lost their job before Sept 1, The goverment should try to change what Cobra can charge a family for health insurance.

    Comments: This is a real concern to many citizens. I work with people in career transition and hear the concern about health benefits consistently across a wide spectrum of industries, job functions, and levels.

    Name: Margaret Thompson on Mar 4, 2009

    Comments: We both lost our jobs - my husband in October 2006 and myself in 12/2007. We are barely holding our own - how are we ever going to afford health insurance after two years of unemployment and a drop in our income by about 75%. After two years - what is next. Thank God we are both in reasonably good health.

    Comments: I missed this Cobra subsidy by one day and think this is truly unfair. My Cobra payment is over $450 a month. I am finding that it has been extremely difficult to even obtain an interview, let alone a job offer especially for us workers over 50.

    Comments: Please join us in asking Congress and the Obama administration to eliminate the arbitrary September 1, 2008 cut-off date. Please make the date to include prior to September 2008. Example: January 2008 - January 2010

    Comments: I along with many others was layed off in February 2008 and am still looking for a job after 34 years of service. I wrote my Congressman, yet with no response on why I was not included in this stimulas. My benefits end in August of 2009, and I may be forced to do without some coverage till I reach 65 in 2 years. Please forward this note to the appropriate individuals to allow those of us layed off prior to Sept. 1 to continue COBRA till age 65.
