With the current unemployment rate hovering around 6 percent and expecting to rise to 7 percent by May of 2009, workers with serious health problems or families are faced with a health insurance conundrum.
North Hollywood, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) December 8, 2008 -- With the current unemployment rate hovering around 6 percent and expecting to rise to 7 percent by May of 2009, workers with serious health problems or families are faced with a health insurance conundrum.
COBRA, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), was put in place as a temporary bridge between transitioning healthcare coverage but the current job market is making the COBRA ACT an expensive bridge for many unemployed workers to cost. Under COBRA a health plan can charge 102 percent of the actual premium costs.
“Financial analysts expect the current recession to mean longer lengths of unemployment as jobs become scarcer. People need health coverage, but if you’re out of work, you definitely need the most budget-friendly option,” says CEO Eric Oster.
