    If you leave your job or are terminated your health insurance usually ends at the end of the month you left your job.

    At that time you would be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for 18 months or you could purchase indivdiual health insurance. COBRA used to be the best option if you had a pre-exisitng condition but under the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, you can purchase individual coverage with no issues. 

    You have to prove that you have a qualifying event under the IRS code which is a letter of Creditable Coverage from your former health insurance company or employer.
