My 27 yo son was laid off of his job in construction in ~ 2007 where he had

Eventually, he was unable to keep up with Cobra insurance premiums and so he
had to drop his ( as well as my grandkid's ) health insurance after an 18
months time period finally elapsed.

Fast forward 7 months where he again became against all odds employed
working for a paving company that was fixing the deteriorated interstate
road systems in our region.

Very sad. Many people fear a catastrophe risk like this, for good
reasons.

In fact, if people knew that they can have affordable medical
coverage, more of them would become entrepreneurs instead of being
stuck in jobs just because of medical coverage.
