If you have been laid off, it’s important to make sure your health insurance doesn’t lapse. That could make it more expensive to get re-insured and you may get turned down if you or someone in your family has a health condition.
There are some steps you can take to find lower-cost coverage:
• See if you can switch to your spouse’s health plan.
• Consider private insurance
• Shop around and compare plans and prices on websites like www.ehealthinsurance.com
• Decide what your health priorities are, and pick a plan tailored to fit your needs.
• Ask about COBRA, the federal program that allows you to stay on your company’s health plan for 18 months.
