AN ESTIMATED 27 MILLION AMERICANS RECENTLY LOST THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE ALONG WITH THEIR JOBS BECAUSE OF COVID-19. Where are they to turn for healthcare without having to pay huge out of pocket costs?
Soaring unemployment numbers could translate into nearly 27 million people losing their health insurance, according to a new report. "Between March 1st and May 2nd, 2020, more than 31 million people had filed for unemployment insurance," notes the Kaiser Family Foundation report, which was released. "Actual loss of jobs and income are likely even higher, as some people may be only marginally employed or may not have filed for benefits." Along with losing their jobs, Americans who previously had health insurance coverage through their employers will lose that, too.
