    My roommate lost his job and his insurance (which both he and his husband rely on) with it. Coverage under COBRA would cost $700 a month, which he’s actually considering paying since they at least hit their deductible. Otherwise the marketplace plans are all about as expensive and/or have an $18k deductible (yes really) before they cover even part of the cost.

    Currently trying to get approved for Medicaid, but it’s difficult since he has income for this year on paper.
