In response to "TTIS: Let's say someone gets laid off and shortly after starting to collect unemployment, he finds out he is sick. He will be unable to look for " by kelly

When was he laid off, and did he have insurance when he was employed?

If it was within a certain time frame, he can pay for COBRA and get the same insurance as at work. It's either 30 days or 6 months, I can't remember at the moment. If it was after September 30, 2008 then the government picks up most of the cost thanks to the ARRA.
