COBRA lets you continue your insurance plan from your employer for a time period after you leave. However, your employer no longer contributes to the premiums, which are very difficult to personally front if you dont have an income. You can buy temporary health insurance to cover yourself between jobs, but it typically is only useful for catastrophic injury, as the deductibles are extremely high to keep the price down.
