confused_about_health_ins asked:


If I’m on my work’s health plan and I get injured or sick and can’t continue performing my duties…

(a) can my work fire me or lay me off?
(b) if so, can the insurance plan drop me and cut off benefits?
(c) if so, I know there is COBRA to last me a few months… but then what? Does the government help out or do I just go completely broke taking care of myself?
(d) what is the government’s definition of “broke enough to be covered by Medicaid”?
(e) if I were on an individual plan, the insurance company would have to continue covering me so long as I continued paying, right?
(f) if so, doesn’t that mean I’m better off with an individual plan than a business health plan (assuming similar benefits and rates)?
