WASHINGTON —Congress
is considering aid to the nation’s
more than 5 million laid-off
workers who have lost their
health insurance, but budget
officials warn any program will
be costly.
Alice Rivlin, director of the
Congressional Budget Office,
told a House Energy and Com
merce Health subcommittee
Monday, 10.7 million laid-off
American workers and depen
dents had no health insurance as
of December.
Twelve million Americans
were unemployed last month,
and the jobless rate was the high
est since the Great Depression.
Rivlin said 7.4 million of those
workers had been laid off, and
5.3 million of them lost their
health insurance.
Health benefits usually con
tinue for up to three months af
ter job loss. But Rivlin said
almost 70 percent of those who
lost their jobs have been out of
work five weeks or more, and
most have exhausted extended
health benefits.
