Please be sure to get the word out quickly while we still have a voice in how the money will be spent as they put finishing touches on the economic recovery package. We need to stay informed and in contact while congress decides how and where the money will be spent.

COBRA is not a viable option for most people losing coverage. We need a alternative transitional plan to help those who are at risk of losing coverage in the midst of chaos resulting from the economic crisis.

In our efforts to provide an expedient response to an urgent and growing problem, let’s not be too hasty by falling back on those systems already in place that have been not worked for us in the past.

We need a BIG fix to a broken system, and the economic recovery stimulus will not be enough. Consider the options carefully…
