My best friends father lost his job with a huge ‘Truck’ manufacturer around here.  He got to keep his health insurance but has to pay through the ‘cobra plan’.  I didn’t know what that was so I asked.  It’s where you keep the same health insurance but pay out the rear for it basically from what I gathered.  It’s hard to have a family with 4 kids and not have health insurance.

Christa, my friend, said her father checked into Kaiser Health Insurance and found very similar coverage that he has through cobra for far less there.  He learned about it from his sister in California.  She has insurance through kaiser permanente california.   They found out that Kaiser Permanente also offers insurance in 9 states and Washington DC.  When you are laid off, every penny counts and they helped save their family quite a bit of money.  I didn’t ask just how much because it’s none of my business but I know they’re happy with the savings so it must have been a pretty good savings.
