This depends on various things such as the state you live in. The worst financial disaster I ever went through resulted from medical care supposedly "covered" by employer-provided insurance, which turned out to be terrible in ways I had never imagined possible, leaving me with a mountain of debt (while going through a divorce, no less). Conversely, on two occasions - once in Oregon and once in Washington - I went to the ER in need of care while unemployed and uninsured, and the state health plan just... took care of me; it was fine. (One of these occasions was a career hiatus, as described in the article.)
- simfree 2y agoOregon permitted direct enrollment onto Medicaid when you show up to the hospital and qualify for it, and they don't chase down and audit most of those enrolled thankfully. By the way, if your still in the Greater Seattle Area you might check out the Connections Museum & Seattle Community Network, as both might be up your alley.
