Cobra can extend healthcare... but you would be paying 100% of premium...

If you were the soul earner... Obamacare might be available at no or little cost...

You have to be careful with Obamacare. I was laid off from a job in October 2017. Looking at Obamacare, my premium would be based on what I had already earned so far that year. A family plan was nearly the cost of COBRA, even though I wasn’t making anything then except what I got for unemployment benefits. I did take Obamacare because it was almost $200 per month less. Same insurance co., doctors, etc.

Turned out that it really wasn’t the same plan. While all my deductibles were met by the older plan, I had to start with a new deductible and it was $14,000, $11,000 more than my older plan. Saving that $150-$200 dollars per month cost me plenty. Still kicking myself to this day. Fortunately I only needed it for two months.
