Equal Access to COBRA Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, the Equal Access to COBRA Act (S. 3182) was a bill which would have amended the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the Public Health Service Act to extend COBRA health insurance coverage to qualified beneficiaries, defined to include domestic partners.[1][2] The bill was introduced on March 25, 2010, by Senator Barbara Boxer. It was later reintroduced by Representative Anthony Weiner on March 10, 2011.[citation needed]
