You are probably talking catastrophic-only, with high deductible, so when you end up in emergency room you will pay for it, instead of freeloading. Out of curiosity I looked up COBRA payments for my existing insurance - $3200ish/mo and I am healthy under 40 individual!! Who the fuck can afford this while unemployed?! Sure, I can find 200$ish catastrophic, but imagine if I had diabetes, history of cancer and were overweight smoker in my 50s. COBRA would be my only choice.
