Loosing a job can be devastating, especially when you are married or have a family. The last thing you want to do is deal with insurance agents or the thought of deductibles, co-payments and qualifying for coverage, so if you are like many American's you "suck it up" and pay the exorbitant COBRA premiums offered by your former employer.
