    COBRA is usually way too pricey for the average person

    It literally exists so that they can say "We still provide healthcare access!"

    Weaselly shit

      Yeah it's fucked. Even with multiple Rx's and two medical professionals I visit at least monthly, it was cheaper for me to just self pay until new insurance kicked in.

      Seems like it's only helpful if you're incredibly unlucky and get sick / injured

        I once celebrated quitting by getting so wasted I fell down walking downhill and broke a wrist. Still cheaper out-of-pocket than COBRA.
