Ok. So they say that if you lose your job you won't lose your health insurance. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that I get to keep my health care and continue to pay what my portion was while I was employed, or does it mean that I can keep my health care but have to pay 100% of the premiums?
If it's the latter, what if I can't afford it? Am I then forced into the public option?
I really don't know the answer and am looking for information.
If you lose your job your insurance will continue until the end of the month or whenever your employer has paid your insurance up to. At that point you'll need to go on COBRA which is a means of keeping your insurance you previously had but you'll have to pay 100% of the premium. The only other option, in all reality, is public insurance which really isn't that good.
