June 17th Solving the Healthcare Insurance Crisis During a Transition…What to Do When Cobra Ends or Is Too Expensive

Healthcare insurance is absolutely mandatory to avoiding a personal financial catastrophe if a medical event happens. Maintaining health insurance is also critical to being able to secure new health insurance from a new carrier when one moves to a new company’s benefits program.

One of the first challenges victims of layoffs face is healthcare insurance – getting it and paying for it. Knowing this, we at Michigan Survives, wanted to provide you with key information on this stressful topic.

Why is Cobra so expensive? Cobra coverage is by law 102% of the premium cost that the former employer was paying based on the health care coverage you maintained while employed. Very often the job transitioner has no idea where to go for help or other viable options and may choose to cancel completely which can be catastrophic.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: The Mostyn Insurance Agency has volunteered to coordinate a community service presentation to present your with your health care insurance options and answer all your questions. Mostyn Insurance Agency has been providing health care coverage for individuals and groups for over 28 years through such esteemed carriers as Blue Cross Blue Shield, American Community and many others. They currently service more than 800 client and groups.
