week, Governor David Patterson (NY) submitted a bill to ensure that New Yorkers 
laid off by small business can qualify for federal benefits that pay up to 65% 
of COBRA health insurance premiums. <A

Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 gives workers and their 
families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue coverage 
provided by their <A

a limited period of time. </SPAN></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.healthplanone.com/blog/index.php/2009/03/24/uncategorized/bill-proposed-by-ny-governor-to-ensure-continued-access-to-health-coverage-for-unemployed.html"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><SPAN
