What to Do If You Lose Your Health Insurance During the Coronavirus Crisis
Economic havoc from the coronavirus pandemic is just getting started. As layoffs surge, millions of Americans face losing their health insurance along with their livelihoods.
Under normal circumstances, you might tolerate the risk of being temporarily uninsured in between jobs. This is not the time to go without health insurance if you can avoid it. COVID-19 amplifies both your risk of needing health care and of having challenges paying for that care.
You can't control whether you lose your job and your benefits because of COVID-19. You can, however, take steps to protect yourself in case you wind up without health insurance during the global pandemic.
