I got laid off recently and lost my health insurance. They sent me COBRA details and told me if I pay the premium my existing insurance would continue. Anyone has experience with this. My child has a surgery next month and wanted to plan accordingly. Also premium seems very high.

Sorry to hear about the layoff. COBRA payments cover the full cost albeit at group rates which are still high. Have you compared against the options available on your states’s health insurance exchange?

US government should reimburse COBRA premiums care of COVID relief. Look into it!

Pay the cobra until you can sort it out, especially if you have kids.

Are you able to switch to a partner’s insurance? If not, I’d bite the bullet on COBRA until the surgery is over and look for other insurance in the mean time.

Sorry to hear that! We’re actively hiring right now if interested. Good luck on the surgery!

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.
