Do you have any clue how expensive COBRA is? It's a fucking joke. Someone loses their job and income, and the answer is, well you can keep your healthcare coverage by paying like $1800 a month, even though you don't have an income anymore. How on earth is that feasible for most people?

It’s not always that expensive, depends on what your previous insurance was.

Look up the rules.

Yeah so you had super amazing insurance before. That’s why picking up the employers share was so expensive. If you had no income you could have gone on Medicaid or sometimes there are other state programs and there is the ACA.

"Super amazing"? Like $1000 monthly premiums and then still $200+ per doctor visit?
