Health Insurance Daily Journal

One of the things most people who lost their jobs (either through resignation or termination) is health insurance for them and their family. However with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, otherwise known as COBRA, that will all changed.

For a name synonymous with snakes and poisons, it can help you weather out the storm while you look for a new way to cover health insurance for yourself and your loved ones. According to this act you have the right to continue your former employer’s group plan for individual or family health insurance for up to 18 months at your own expense.

If you’re currently employed, ask your HR personnel for more details.
