On the surface this seems like something that might (finally)provide relief where it is most needed. Instead of saving companies to, in theory, save jobs, this would provide real assistance to those in the most dire of circumstances. The only caution would be how to avoid an entitlement mentality and...

No. Life is sometimes expensive. They can get an individual plan or a temporary plan. If you're going to subsidize anyone, subsidize only those that are denied an individual plan due to medical reasons.

COBRA is often double the cost of individual coverage. First, should require people to look at individual coverage. If cannot get coverage there, then must remain on COBRA, so maybe then a subsidy.

Of course when you lose your job, whether suddenly or not, money is a big issue. Just ask anyone who has a family, small children, braces, tuition, mortgage and car payments, etc. Everyone needs medical coverage since one catastrophic claim can wipe a person out, but how can anyone afford COBRA? Taxes...
