Some of our most productive and interesting conversations have come from open threads where almost anything goes. Speaker's Corner is a topic that is dedicated to open-conversation about almost anything that's on your mind.
The real Speaker's Corner is located in the north-east corner of London's Hyde Park where public speaking is allowed. There is no immunity from the law at speaker's corner, and while the police tend to be tolerant, they do not allow profanity or unlawful behavior. You may be jeered, ridiculed, enthusiastically supported, or completely ignored. Now, what's on your mind?

Why the rush?   a couple facts regarding health insurance for those recently unemployed
 
1.) Average COBRA premiums exceed $400 a month for individuals, and more than $1,000 a month for families.
 
2.) The stimulus package will subsidize 65% of COBRA premiums for employees who were laid off between Sept. 1 and the end of this year.
 
We are not talking about people just giving up a few luxuries to afford this. 
 
Please let any friend or family you know who lost their job this year about this help available from the stimulus plan.
