The social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 coronavirus are beginning to sink in across the country. Unemployment claims are skyrocketing and officials of the Federal Reserve have estimated that as many as 47 million people could lose their jobs as a direct or indirect result of coronavirus.

If you’re among the newly unemployed, one of the most pressing questions you may be facing amid this crisis is what to do for health insurance. What are your options? How do you enroll? And is there any special help available to you?

The bottom line is you have options, and more than likely those options include COBRA coverage or coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
