Though ehealthinsurance is a way to get health insurance after you COBRA, they will decline anyone that does not have perfect health. COBRA is a great option for 18 months, but only a COBRA specialist can guarantee major medical insurance for those who are coming off of COBRA with pre-existing conditions. Great topic.

It's nice to have it as an option, but since a lot of insurances premiums skyrocketed this year (I know Oxford went up 30%), it's getting to be nearly impossible to afford an entire premium. Especially if you have dependents. A lot of private insurance carriers are beefing up their plans and are able to offer a more affordable alternative right now. Programs like Healthy New York are looking like a pretty good idea if you're laid off. Cobra is very expensive.

I'm not sure of the costs of COBRA but I've read that most people getting laid off can't afford to continue health care coverage through COBRA because of the high costs. If someone has no savings and is trying to survive off of unemployment there is no way they can afford to continue health care coverage under COBRA.
