What do they do about health insurance?
- miked85 5y agoI would guess the usual options like ACA or COBRA.
- yladiz 5y agoEither COBRA, pay for anything you go to the doctor for out of pocket, or just don’t get sick.
- RandallBrown 5y agoI quit my job a few years ago to go hiking for 4 months and I got free health insurance from my state since I had zero income.
- JamesSwift 5y agoCOBRA is actually retroactive so you don't actually need to purchase it until you _need_ it. So a lot probably just bank on not needing it.
- hourislate 5y agoJust buy catastrophic. It's cheap and covers you for the big things (auto accident, heart attack, etc). Lots of doctors that only charge $30 for a regular visit (no insurance).
- shiohime 5y agoYou can still purchase healthcare insurance through healthcare.gov, for up to 60 days after losing employer-supplied insurance, whether you were fired, or quit. Also, the enrollment period is extended through August last I checked due to COVID. So, basically you can just purchase your own after leaving, if you want. Or you can go COBRA, but that's hella expensive.
- ghaff 5y ago>Or you can go COBRA, but that's hella expensive. Well, it's expensive, in many cases, because you're paying for an unsubsidized high-end company plan.
