I think it would be logical to automatically enroll people who qualify for unemployment in OHP (if they don't have any other alternative). I'm not an economist, but if this were feasible, it would really help. When my husband was laid off back in July '08, he lost his health insurance. Now he's got a bad knee that's starting to impact his ability to work and no way to fix it so that he can get back to his full earning potential. I'm sure he's not the only one. Thank you.

Take care,
