Congress has extended health insurance benefits for the unemployed?

Wouldn't it be simpler just to have Obama's health care reform so if you lose your job you're covered? Do you realize how hard it is to get health insurance right now if you lose your job and COBRA doesn't cover you anymore?
--------------------
Unfortunately, the health care bill(which is still Congresses' and not Obama's) does not really provide anything for those circumstances. The Senate Bill would simply require you to buy insurance anyway, whether you could afford it or not, while the House bill has a public option but is so complicated you might never find out how to get it. Yes, it would be much easier to have national health insurance available, but you won't get it from either bill or the compromise between them.
