Ask HN: What do you about health insurance in between jobs (in the US)?
I'm currently in between jobs (3 months now) and didn't want to sink 600+ per month on COBRA when I never go to the doctor. Are there any alternatives that would cover a catastrophe so I don't have to file for bankruptcy in the worst case scenario? I wanted to get some blood work for peace of mind and found JasonHealth with crazy cheap prices? Is it too good to be true? What’s your price tolerance level? $600 per month to avoid potential bankruptcy seems cheap to me. You might check your state’s options for affordable care (ObamaCare). I'm in CA, and Covered California prices are about the same as COBRA. I would be okay with 200-300, but 600 seems steep for the low (but catastrophic) potential. Subsidies are large when you are out of work.
