Situation: Chuck lost his job—and his employer-paid health insurance—a few days ago. There are no immediate prospects for a new job, and money is going to be tight. While he technically has the option to take COBRA coverage through his old employer, realistically, he finds the cost beyond his means. Solution: Chuck can breathe a little easier. Assurant Health unemployment health insurance may be just the gap coverage he wants. Enrollment is simple. Premiums are affordable. Chuck doesn’t have to choose between paying the rent and buying unemployment health insurance. Private health insurance for unemployed workers doesn’t have to break the bank. Unemployment health insurance can be purchased for as few as 30 days or as many as 365 days (availability and length of coverage varies by state). It takes just minutes to apply, and if approved, Chuck could be covered by tomorrow and save precious money. However, it is important to note that unemployment health insurance from Assurant Health is intended to cover you in the case of an unexpected illness or injury and does not cover pre-existing medical conditions. So, in some instances, COBRA insurance many be a better option than interim insurance. The advantage of continuing on your current plan through COBRA is that any ongoing treatment or medical condition may be covered without interruption.
