Health Care & Unemployment Benefits to Help Struggling New Mexicans

U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman highlights some components of legislation passed by the Senate this week that contains, among other things, a one-year extension of unemployment insurance benefits and COBRA (health care). This help New Mexicans struggling to find work in this difficult economy.

Bingaman also speaks of his appointment to the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), where he will have the opportunity to advocate for New Mexicos defense and defense-related activities. Bingaman served on the committee earlier in his Senate career, and was re-appointed in order to maintain committee balance after newly-elected Senator Scott Brown sought appointment on the SASC.

Thanks for the update Senator Bingaman. I will stay tuned to your site for more updates. I really appreciate everything that you and other members of Congress (both Democrats and Republicans) are doing to extend Unemployment Benefits. They are greatly needed when it's hard to find a decent job, pay rent, and put food on the table. So once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
