Longer Unemployment Spells Create Need for Affordable Insurance for Those Out Of Work

North Hollywood, CA (Vocus) December 5, 2008 -- 2insure4less.com a website that helps individuals across the country compare insurance quotes reports that the economic climate and mounting unemployment rate has created a need for affordable interim or long term health insurance for laid off or terminated employees.

Not only are more people losing their jobs during this recession, but it is taking much longer to find a new job. COBRA, which allows eligible former employees to extend health insurance coverage, is sometimes too expensive for the majority of unemployed workers. Those who utilize COBRA may be responsible for up to 102 percent of the plan’s cost. It great for someone who needs health care and is simply waiting for health insurance on a new job to kick in, but it could be a financial strain for someone without a solid job prospect. Plus, not everyone qualifies for COBRA. With longer unemployment spells, workers, especially those with families, are looking for more affordable health insurance options.
