Q&A: How to keep heath care insurance from being cancelled due to low hours?

Question by l.miller008: How to keep heath care insurance from being cancelled due to low hours?
My sister is 6 months pregnant and just found out from her work today that her health care insurance is going to be cancelled this week because she is not making enough hours for her to keep her coverage. Is there anyway around this? Or any suggestions? She is married but her husband cannot add her to his coverage until enrollment period which is after her due date. He also makes to much to have medicade.

She’ll have to COBRA if her insurance gets canceled. Good luck. I feel for her. COBRA is really expensive. COBRA extends your insurance coverage for up to 18 months, but you have to pay the full price of the coverage (not just your premiums).
