"It works" means if you have the money you can buy it. If you've don't have 6 months of expenses saved you're already in trouble, add the $650-1200 a month for COBRA and most people would be on the street.

The only good thing is since they hard laid you off you can immediately apply for obamacare/medicare and pay nothing out of pocket because you have 0 income other than unemployment.
