Insurance for the Unemployed

Got this bit of news yesterday (or was it the other day), and this sounds interesting. Thanks Sec, Recto! I however feel quite uncertain how this would be pushed in the long list of projects of the government. For one, maybe those "corrupt" would not want that their budget be lowered due to this project (hihihi, such a pessimist when it comes to officials). Two, just how much would be given to the unemployed, for how long, and what is the cost for each individual. Three, if ever people are to shoulder some of the insurance costs, just how many would be interested (needs to get somebody or a company for an insurance lead. Government has to figure these out... then the question on when will this be implemented?

We'll see what happens to this. And we'll probably know just how serious our government is "protecting" and helping the people in tough times like these.
