The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, or COBRA, allows unemployed workers to keep their health insurance from their previous employer for up to 18 months.
Up until the 15-month subsidy was approved last year as part of the federal economic stimulus bill, laid-off workers were required to pick up the full premium. With the subsidy, the unemployed paid 35 percent of the cost.

Why Family Health Insurance Plans Are Important
Are family health insurance plans really required by families in which everyone is healthy? This question may have come to your mind while paying premiums. While it is great pleasure to have a healthy family, you will never know when a disease suddenly but silently affects your loved ones. If such an unwanted thing does happen, you and your near ones will get the best treatment only if you are covered. Otherwise you may land up paying astronomical medical bills. In the long run it is always more economical to be insured. And these days, these schemes do not cost too much. So you should opt for an affordable family health insurance plan.
It may be a good idea for people with large families to include everyone under one policy because such schemes may prove to be cheaper. Apart from saving money on premiums, the policy holders may also benefit as the limitations and thresholds of these schemes are different from the thresholds of individual policies. Such policies are also useful for newly wed couples or for those who are already married and are planning to have more babies in future. This is because maternity care is covered in this as well. Small children tend to fall ill very soon or get injured while playing. A proper medical coverage plan will help you financially and get them the best treatment.
