In a recent press release, Medica has announced that they are launching a public information program to help Minnesota residents who have lost their jobs find affordable health insurance options. Minnesota’s unemployment rate was 6.9% and growing as of the end of 2008. In a nutshell, the objective of the program is to let Minnesota residents know that their are health insurance options that are more viable than COBRA coverage, particularly for those out of work.
According to a recent study, which examines COBRA from an affordability perspective, receiving Minnesota health insurance coverage for a family via COBRA would absorb about 70% on average of that families unemployment benefits.
Medica’s information campaign will include newspaper advertising, billboards, radio spots, advertising on job search sites and social networking sites such as Facebook, and more.
