Public Service Announcement re: Obama Care

Just a reminder in these terrible times that if you lose your job and benefits such as your health insurance (most companies will allow you to keep the insurance until the end of the month) you have what is called a "qualifying event" and even though it isn't open enrollment for Obama Care you can sign up for the program any time if you have a qualifying event.

Also if you are within certain income limits (based on what state you live in) you might also qualify for Medicaid.

Just a FYI. Wishing everybody well.
