With the stimulus package recently enacted, and subsequent Cobra subsidy through employers shows a step in the right direction, with keeping the delivery of health benefits through the employer based system. The COBRA subsidy is not directly given to the employee, which is definitely a good thing. Another good sign that "Universal Healthcare" is not in the works is that Obama has met with the CEO of Aetna several times over the last few months, which gives a little hope that he is not just listening to his political fundraisers. Universal Healthcare, would literally break the bank of the Federal gov. There is no way we would be able to support that cost associated with that type of spending.
