well... I don't want to get downvoted, but it's worth reading about COBRA and the extensions offered by California, New York and other states. And of course, the ACA.
It all costs money, but it's not like you "lose your health care" the day you're laid off. Notably, COBRA is retroactive precisely to avoid gaps in coverage.
- zacharycohn 4y agoCOBRA is also incredibly expensive. The few times I've been laid off, I was thankful to have been young and healthy because there was no way I could have afforded COBRA.
- sokoloff 4y agoIn my experience across three companies, COBRA just costs 102% of the total cost that was already being paid previously. This just means that your employer was paying a lot on your behalf previously.
