Will he get insurance now? Will anyone who is unemployed get it? I believe this Health Care Reform to be a mistake with long term serious financial consequences for the nation. However, I do believe that a man who fought for this country (2 tours in vietnam), raised 4 kids and helped to put them through school, paid his taxes and flew his flag proudly deserves to be able to go to the doctor and not bankrupt his retirement savings.
Nice, so if he’s unemployed, he will be fined if he has no health insurance? So basically, Obamas plan is to have people in this situation bankrupt themselves and then go on medicaid. Great Plan… First step in wealth re-distribution folks. Who needs reparations when you have Gov’t Welfare Obamastyle.

In Western NY, I don’t have health insurance. Last year, I made <10k. Don’t live with my Mom. She makes <10k a year, also. (Sicko has made me nervous.) I’m a sophomore, will be attending again in the fall, attended this past spring, didn’t attend in Fall 06 or Spring 06. All university students get some healthcare from my school but I don’t think it’s very good because I want to go to some specialists and see a dentist. What are my options? Thank you for your help! (I am currently looking for a job.)
Mom doesn’t have insurance either 
Besides Cobra, what other options do I have? I ma looking for cheap insurance.
if you where laid off, then your ok. But if you quit your last job you will be required by law to keep health insurance or be fined $2700/yr. And by the way thats $225/mo. for the most affordable which is the public option.
My husband along with a few other people were recently laid off due to lack of work. At the time, he was told by his two supervisors that they would keep him insured for as long as possible. This was on Feb 2. My husband took his things out of his desk not knowing how long he would be gone, and also asked if he could go ahead and have his vacation time because he needed to look for a job since we can’t live on unemployment. He never said he wouldn’t come back when they called. So a few weeks later my husband was injured. It required a 2 day stay at the hospital, and at the time, the hospital said we were covered and we figured we were since it had only been a couple weeks since the layoff. A week later when filling a prescription, we find out our insurance had been cut off. They never told us. Husband called employer and they said “we cut you off on Feb 5, we thought you were quitting”, even though they never argued his unemployment and he never said he was quitting. They also didn’t inform us of state continuation coverage, which we found out about on our own, and were able to pay the premium on the last day we were eligible. Now we’re stuck paying a very high deductible, because the company changed the health plan, and offered to pay all costs over $500 for employees. Does that no longer apply to us? They think it does not. Also we haven’t been able to contact the others laid off, to find out when they were cut off from health insurance. We think he might have been singled out, but don’t know for sure. If he has been…is there anything in all of this we could sue for? WE live in Missouri, and I would call a lawyer, but since we’ve been unemployed for a month now, and they said it could be another 4 weeks before we see any money, we have no money.
His company has less than 20 employees so he is not eligible for cobra. We paid the premium for state continuation coverage, which we discovered after our own research. His company didn’t even know it existed, so they didn’t send a notice. I’m hoping they can get in trouble for this. We’re both looking for jobs. Every factory in this small town is shutting down. Unless you are a nurse of some kind, it’s hard to find work. I have another year of school before I get my AA, so hopefully I can at least start subing then, if we don’t go under and I can’t finish school.
What are jobless citizens doing for health insurance?
How much of a health care crisis did we have when most americans were employed?
How about more jobs in the U.S.?
Stop benefiting companies for taking our jobs out of the country?
Hershey’s Chocolate moves from Hershey, Pennsylvania to Mexico?
