27 Million Americans May Lose
Health Insurance, Report Says The findings were provided by the
Kaiser Family Foundation, which links the losses to
the surge in people applying for unemployment. According to the report,
half of those losing health benefits
will come from eight states. They include California,
New York, Texas and Florida. Though the COVID-19 pandemic has made everything
more difficult, Americans were having problems
making medical payments beforehand. According to ABC News, prior to the coronavirus
outbreak, one in three people couldn't pay a
$400 bill without assistance. Without insurance from their jobs, some may be able
to get help from the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. Another option is COBRA, but it can
be costly for a family or one person. Kaiser Family Foundation
