Venus Williams revealed she came back to tennis at age 45 for the health insurance, explaining after winning her match on Tuesday, July 22 that she was put on COBRA and needed better coverage.
COBRA is just you paying the rate your employer negotiated with their benefits broker without them covering a portion of it.
Health insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment but the bigger issue is that private health insurance is just a parasitic middle man that restricts where you can get care all while exploiting you, your employer and the care providers.
My COBRA cost $100/month less than ACA, so I guess I’m grateful?
Anyway, you can negotiate COBRA reimbursement when changing jobs. I’ve done it twice. Just throwing it out there. Can’t help you if your next job is retirement or something
COBRA is a fucking joke so that they can claim that you have the “option” to get health insurance while being completely unaffordable.

Mine is 450 a week. 🫡 And since I get insurance by the week I lose it when I take an unpaid week off.
What, and I mean this with all my heart, the fuck?
Yeah. On the bright side, it’s incredible good and I don’t pay a dime as long as I’m working
