Unemployment Woes

15 12 2008 Autor: Administrator

The current economic slowdown has many people getting laid-off from their jobs with their companies unable to cope with the unstable economy. Most people benefit from their jobs not only for the regular pay they get but for the coverage they get from Employer provided Health Care which automatically ends upon leaving the firm. Without it, most who cannot afford HMO policies are left high and dry with most falling in between the void of over-qualification for state sponsored but under qualified for private health care systems.
The passing of the SCHIP bill which expands coverage for more children by as much as 200% from previous coverage, lessens the gap in the health care system which is hoping for more reforms to the system again allowing most Americans the benefit of having proper access to health care. Jobs are still being lost and more and more people are losing their ability to get proper health care during this recession which many see no end to in the near future.
