Title: So explain this to me...
Post by: Tomato on June 22, 2010, 02:33:19 AM
I just got a spam offer from a "COBRA Inc." offering me a healthcare plan. Now, I may not be from the generation that grew up with GI Joe, He-Man, or TMNT, but even I know that COBRA should not be giving me healthcare.

Why not? I heard HYDRA has an excellent dental plan.

QuoteThe Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (or COBRA) is a law passed by the U.S. Congress on a reconciliation basis  and signed by President Reagan that, among other things, mandates an insurance program giving some employees the ability to continue health insurance coverage after leaving employment.

Though, I like the idea of a health plan funded by Cobra Commander better.

Up until I read 1985, I was hoping the government had forced Amazon to send me those omnibuses earlier.

I also remember hear tell about Cobra's great healthcare plan!  No wonder than had so many soldiers......Gi Joe was way out numbered....and the question is why...it all boils down to good health and dental.

Come to think of it I always thought my dentist looked familiar, Dr. Mindbender, D.D.S. ?

How about retirement benefits?  Anybody offer those?

Have you ever heard of anybody retiring from Hydra or Cobra?

Good point.  Retirement from those organizations probably comes from standing on the wrong end of a gun.
