It’s little known but when a retiree or on COBRA a company can functionally force you onto a drastically worse plan at any time, whenever they want, to save money. I was paying thousands to stay on my previous companies COBRA and suddenly my low ($1000) deductible plan had changed overnight to a plan with a $7000 deductible. Suddenly I was paying for the privilege of paying. This is devastating to a lot of people.
- DANmode 3y agoLinking a vital need such as healthcare to something so fungible as an employer seems poorly thought out in this era.
- yummypaint 3y agoYeah its absurd that people's employers effectively make medical decisions on their behalf. Death panels indeed.
