Employee Benefit News got in touch with Mark Smith regarding an illustration for a story titled 'Will It Ever End?' The sub-title was - 'One COBRA extension after another leaves benefit professionals wondering whether, and when, they'll see a sunset on the subsidy.'

COBRA is a healthcare plan/subsidy that is continually being tinkered with and extended, placing employers in a position where they can be penalized for non-conformity.  Mark’s visual takes a “team player” approach to the issue.
