Without work, I can’t make hours to keep my health insurance, so I’ll be forced to buy COBRA, which is just as expensive as rent.
(Or I could risk going without, while living at this continent’s ground zero for a pandemic.)
Entire industries are being shut down. There are no easy answers here.

- omgwtfbyobbq 7y agoThe only problem with getting a plan on an exchange is that you may need to satisfy a deductible again. YMMV of course. With COBRA I believe you can also pay your premium after the month it's due. This can be advantageous because you can opt to not pay for your last month before switching to another plan if you end up not using any services from your COBRA plan that month.
