I felt the same way after seeing the movie "Cobra" with Sylvester Stallone.

Yeah, COBRA is a legitimate health insurance offering. It's a quasi-government program IIRC. I forget the details.

COBRA is also the UK's emergency response team.

In the US if you lose your job, you lose your health care. COBRA is a temporary insurance program that the government provides while you look for another job.

COBRA is the safety net when folks in the US lose their jobs (and job provided health insurance). It allows you to keep your current insurance for awhile. It is incredibly expensive. After it times out, Americans are left with few choices, particularly if they have a pre-existing condition and don't reside in a more progressive state like California.
Many Americans in their 20s don't have or care about health insurance. It's a bigger deal when you hit the big 40 (as I see coming quickly ahead of me). I read somewhere that most personal US bankruptcies involved medical bills that couldn't be paid. I knew a dude in his 20s that was the most money responsible person I'd ever met. He had a bankruptcy because of the medical bills related to a genetic illness. He had no credit and couldn't even rent an apartment. Canadians have no idea how hard we live down here! |
