I thought that he could continue his insurance for 18 months based on
the COBRA law? For cancer, though, 18 months usually does not amount
to much.

It is one thing to have the opportunity to continue medical
coverage mandated by law. It is quite another to pay for it if
you are out of work.


Sadly, most people have forgot that you save for eventualities and not depend on someone
else to get you through.

Insurance is like going to the casino..its gambling. If you have a few
bucks not going any place else..you spend it.

When you are out of work..and job offers are few and far between...going
to the casino with the last of your cash, is not a good idea.

Many of us have had to make that choice. Some win, some lose.

"am I going to get sick before I get a new job?" "Can I afford
insurance when I dont have any income..and its a constant outgo with no
immediate benefits, unlike lights, power, gas and food"

something damned nasty to all three of them.
