My quote to continue health care coverage was $715 per month, dental was $35 per month. How do they expect someone who has lost their job to afford this????? Sounds like a scam to me. Insurance companies are in it for one thing.... the money!!
Many people have health insurance through their employer's group plan. When they no longer qualify for coverage through this plan, federal and state law may provide the right to continue coverage in that group plan for a limited time.
Private health insurance is an alternative to government issued health insurance. It can be provided through a union or employer or one can purchase it from a private health insurance company.
Self employed people have a difficult time with maternity leave. If they work in a state with mandated short term disability insurance coverage, they usually are not required to pay into the system - and therefor have no coverage. Private short term disability is available through groups.If you are paid as a 1099 employee, you can get private disability through payroll deduction from your 1099 payor. This is the best route to take.

People who leave their place of employment are entitled to continuing health care coverage through COBRA, if there are 20 or more people working at the company. COBRA will provide coverage from 18-36 months after you leave your job. http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/health-plans/cobra.htm

Yes, though it is hard. Also, preexisting conditions vary, as far as definition, from one company to another. While it is easier to get coverage through an employer, you are able to get it via a private company.
If the life insurance was provided through an employer group policy, the coverage usually terminates when your employment is terminated. Some insurance policies through employer groups could include a portability feature, meaning that you can continue the coverage by paying (sometimes a higher) premium, directly to the insurance company, not to your former employer.
