Unless your company went bankrupt, use your cobra.

unfortunately cobra is 300 a month...and what about my friend who

a terminally ill child and got laid off...what's he do?


Republicans don't give a crap about the trials and tribulations of
working Americans.



I see you are still out of touch with real life.



lets see...we've had 4 years of the GOP.

I have no health insurance
I have no job

the semiconductor industry is dead. there is no retraining.

yeah the GOP cares for working americans.

The Semiconductor industry has always been cyclic! You have COBRA
available
to you. Take another job. May not be as high paying, or you might have
to
work harder, but it will tide you over during your search for another good
paying job. And if you think, that I am full of crap, I have been through
7
layoffs, since 1979. Both big and little companies. 4 of them startups.
You do what you have to do to keep your home and health together. Have
the
wife work. She may only make $10 / hour at a clerk job, but still brings
in
income. Blaming your woes on the GOP is avoiding responsibility. I have
been laid off under both GOP and DEM Presidencies, and Congresses. The
Semiconductor business is one of the worse run industries around. Disk
Drives are about the only high tech industry run worse. Look into the
40plus organization for job search and interview and networking help.

Good luck in your job search.

When has it ever been the guvmint's responsibility to provide jobs? I
suppose every theater major graduate should blame the guvmint because they
cannot find a job in their chosen profession. Health insurance is availible
for as little as $50 a month, if you have a pre-exisiting condition, then
the cobra is by far the best bet.
