I got fired at the tail end of 2023; I did have COBRA but the cost for it was astronomical; to continue my coverage for me and my wife was almost 4 grand a month. [1]
It's certainly better to have COBRA, and it does reduce the power that companies have over your health, but it's not a silver bullet.
[1] I won't say which company I was working for but it's not hard to find my work history if you want to make sure which companies to avoid in the future.
- coderatlarge 2y agoI’m sorry to hear this. I’m dealing with an insurance company right now that can’t be bothered to bring up its customer portal after a two week outage.
