Certainly, losing a job makes things very difficult for many reasons. One of the reasons that it is most stressful is the lack of health insurance. When you lose your job - you also lose your health coverage. Cinergy Health President and Chief Marketing Officer, Steve Trattner, offers these specific suggestions for dealing with job and insurance loss.
Cinergy Health CMO Trattner recommends that you weigh deductibles against premiums. You might be able to find a new insurance plan with a high deductible and a very affordable premium. The problem with this is that it will provide coverage for large scale medical needs, but not for your routine healthcare issues.
You should look into your COBRA options as well. It's possible that you can continue to have coverage from your old employer, at least for a bit of time. This can help you to reduce one item of stress while looking for a new job.
