Employer based health care in the time of Covid-19 - can it really be counted on?
Consider being the manager of a restaurant. Your workplace reopens, which is important because things have been financially tight the past few months. But, you have a child with a heart condition that leaves them immunocompromised. The littlest illness could put them in the hospital for days or even weeks, let along what a diagnosis of Covid-19 would do for them. You don’t want to go back to a job where you can’t be certain you won’t come home with Covid-19, but your family needs the health insurance provided by your employer. What do you do?
