Healthcare costs can be astronomical, especially for those of retirement age. And upon retiring, you’ll face not having employer-provided health coverage and suddenly be relying on Medicare, which doesn’t cover everything.
Many Americans must navigate COBRA benefit rules and regulations following job losses or retirement. COBRA benefits allow former employer-based group health insurance coverage to be retained for several months following job separation. But the benefits are expensive as the employer no longer pays any portion of the premium, and it can also be very difficult to keep.
Maine Lawsuit
The Supreme Court ruled that employers don't have to provide health care coverage to employees when they are eligible for Medicare. In one of the articles that was posted on Rightardia, Medicare recipients had a higher satisfaction level than those with private insurance.
Cobra was almost worthless. At this time the government is now subsidising two thirds of the cost because of Democratic changes to the law in 2008.
