I looked into the plan for my daughter a few years ago when she fell on hard times.She did not qualify because she didn't make enough money.The site suggested welfare and such.

I looked into Cobra,but at $800.00 a month it wasn't an option..

That's amazing. I guess medicaid is their answer, then. Really reasonable, I guess. It is probably better than a regular policy, which is also ironic.

I have no problem with welfare, food stamps etc as a whole. I want it to go to those who honestly need it. I see the problem more from fraud than with the programs themselves. I think if we could root out those that take advantage of the system, we could pay for the salaries of those we need to enforce proper compliance and probably make money to go back into the system. I honestly believe that fraud is rampant in these programs, though.

By fraud, I mean people getting money that do not need it...or people on the programs that are capable of working but don't....people like that.
