24. Let's try this
Your COBRA was $975 a month. Right off the bat it's reduced because you can take your kids off because they'll be eligible for the program for low-income kids which anybody on unemployment is low income. So we've got it down to $800 a month. The cost cutting plans will reduce it by 25% so we're down to $600. Then you kick in the tax credits, up to 70%, and we're down to $180 a month. And if you don't like any of that, you can buy into the federal health plan which will be pro-rated and cost, at the most, 6.5% per month. So if your unemployment was $1600 a month, you're paying around $100, if anything at all because it would probably fall into the low income category. What more do you want???
