The Government Is Now Paying For Unemployed Americans Health Insurance
Millions have lost their health insurance during the pandemic. The American Rescue Plan covers their premiums through September.
Starting Thursday, millions of recently unemployed Americans can opt to have the federal government cover their health insurance costs for several months, offering much-needed relief to people struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
As of April 1, the federal government will start paying the full premiums for Americans who are getting their health insurance through COBRA, a federal program that allows the jobless to continue being covered through their former employer’s health insurance plan for at least 18 months at personal cost.
