Insurance cut off with 2 days notice? NY

[andrewisnice]

Title pretty much says it all. I am 22 years old with semi-serious cardiological issues and I was quite arbitrarily downsized/notified of the termination of my coverage two days before the termination took effect. It would be easily demonstrated that financial duress was the only factor in my boss' decision. Can I get the ultimate revenge and sue my boss or is the Law of the opinion that I should just be happy for having been insured while they could afford it?

 

[CourtClerk]

What law do you believe they broke for you to be able to sue them?

 

[andrewisnice]

No idea, buddy. Just fishing. As I acknowledge in the last sentence I'm not very hopeful.

 

[CourtClerk]

You shouldn't be. You have absolutely no case whatsoever.

 

[andrewisnice]

i don't use the word 'hero' very often, but your fishing around on a legal advice forum to dissuade the unduly litigious makes you the greatest hero in american history

You should be eligible for Cobra including the subsidy since you were terminated through no fault of your own.

Seems to me I heard that the subsidy expired March 31. Was it renewed again when I wasn't looking? (not impossible, I haven't been looking for the last couple of days.)

 

[ecmst12]

Hm I don't know, I am fortunately no longer unemployed and I never went on Cobra anyway (too expensive even with the subsidy) so I haven't been paying as much attention.

 

[CourtClerk]

I am fortunately no longer unemployed

Yay!!!!!!! Congrats!
