Hello, we're here too.......

Useless News and World Distort has some decent tips (as well as worthless ones) on acquiring health insurance for the laid off. Of course this was addressed to babyboomers, since they're the only ones that matter, but this can apply to most anyone.

Workers who find themselves unexpectedly laid off in middle age or forced into early retirement have many worries. One of their greatest fears is about finding health insurance coverage. Some 21 percent of baby boomers ages 45 to 64 report they are not confident they will be able to afford medical care this year, according to a new AARP survey. “The boomers are at a high risk of being uninsured, and they’re particularly worried. They’re concerned about losing their job-based coverage or not keeping up with the high premiums of individual coverage,” says Cheryl Matheis, AARP senior vice president. “And they don’t have the safety net that Medicare provides for older people.”

Silly Cheryl Matheis. She speaks of boomers as though they're not "older people". I have an idea for boomers that need a little extra loot to get through the tough times. Maybe they should consider walking out in front of cars and suing the drivers? There could be a nice payout if they survive.
