<prompt> Human: 4-year full time EE, first time getting fired. Ive never been without health insurance and Im in a bit of a predicament.I am already max out of pocket for the year on my Health First plan. I was planning on having another surgery this year that would likely cost 30k if out of pocket. I know about Cobra and ive thought about scheduling my surgery ASAP because of this.1 My current premium is 70mo, is this going to jump to some astronomical number with cobra?2 Would it be a red flag to show up to an interview wearing a castsling?3 can your premiums youve already paid roll over to a new plan? Even if its not the same company. 4 employeer said im in good standing and that they would give a good recommendation for me. Would it be acceptable to disclose that I got fired during an interview?  <response>: Cobra premiums will be much higher because your employer is not paying a portion of them, but might still be less expensive for you than starting over on a new plan, where you would typically start over on your deductible.
