I was recently let go due to a new HR director who subscribes to CRT. She felt my efforts to remove a poor-performing employee with a severe disrespectful attitude was not in keeping with her philosophy of "providing a job for everyone" despite the ability to do the job. I am going to let you play the "guess the race" game.
My question, which is not in keeping with this group's general message is about buying my own healthcare. Has anyone had experience buying a personal plan, if so what was your experience? Is it possible to get a good plan for a single person? Any insight offered is appreciated.
I apologize for creating a post, not in keeping with the theme of the group, but I this is my only social media outlet and I could use some help.
Thank you.
If you are correct about the reason for being fired, I'd find a good employment law lawyer in your area. You might have a great case of reverse discrimination.
In terms of healthcare, if you're younger and in good health get a plan that covers catastrophic issues. That's where the big costs come in. For the routine stuff, pay out of pocket. If you were covered by health insurance at the job you were fired from, make sure you tell your lawyer. That could also be a claim you have.
Maybe you are right. I am just dumbfounded and still processing it all. How can someone harm another for something like CRT?
Thanks for the advice and reply.
But you have MS? THEY FIRED A DISABLED PERSON WITHOUT CAUSE??
I second this - that and you mentioned you are over age 50? Age related discrimination.
Make them play by their own rules.
Edit to add: COBRA premiums are expensive because you are paying the group rate. I don't know how much you paid as an employee, but my employer covers 75% of the cost. It can be a real shocker. This is a qualifying event, so look at individual coverage as well - it won't be inexpensive, but you should compare.
I know you are in shock, but Do. Not. Back. Down. Your job now is to fight for you.
