COBRA is an emergency option. Don't do it.

COBRA is really expensive. I'd say go for student health.

my B school's health insurance was crazy expensive (imo), definitely check out the exchange for your state (ACA) unless you need/expect lots of medical care it's probably the most cost effective

like

Yes agree with above. Cobra is expensive. Look at healthcare.gov. I'm assuming you will qualify for subsidies since you won't be working

like

Cobra is expensive but if you have health issues, your student insurance likely sucks

How old are you and what state are you in? If you're younger than 29-31(varies by state) you can hop on your parents insurance irrelevant of work or education status.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

My issue is, I have so much firm's work that I have hard time to work on my cases/clients. It feels like my cases are supposed to be done after hours (like after 6 pm). My work hours are crazy. I feel this is unfair and since my firm's taking 70% of my sales. Should I ask for a raise?
