She should get info in the mail regarding COBRA insurance. I think that you can use that for 18 months. The Federal Government is currently subsidizing the payments. My dad got laid off last July and his subsidized COBRA insurance payments are $146 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Allinder Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 The government just extended the subsidy. As long as you are laid off by 5-31-10, you could have a reduced premium for 15 of those 18 months. Its a 65% reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC K9 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Why are we having these kinds of issues in today's society. There is no reason people should have to worry about being sick and/or dying because they can't afford healthcare. We are supposedly the wealthiest nation in the world yet if our citizens don't have jobs with good insurance they are kicked to the curb. So effing stupid. What kind of work does she do? If any related positions come up here I can let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
