- Glyptodon 8y agoOne time I switched jobs the company I left was so small (I think ~ 15 to 18 people) it turned out that COBRA wasn't available and new job benefits didn't kick in for 90 days. This was between when the ACA was passed and took effect so getting private insurance for the gap was scary. (Going without coverage was not an option, I have serious medical history.)
