Looks like Congress is trying to make Santa’s “nice” list. The Senate, in particular, was quite busy over the weekend, not only clearing one of the last procedural hurdles in the way of a final vote on health care reform legislation, but also voting 88-10 on Saturday to extend the COBRA subsidy originally implemented in the stimulus package earlier this year.
Since the House already had approved the measure in the last few days, President Obama wasted no time today signing the bill to extend COBRA relief to unemployed workers.
