I got let go this week from a another company in a mass layoff, I had only been working there for a year (Canada).

I got 2 dozen weeks severance, and my benefits (teeth) continue for a bit, as well as accelerated stock vesting. My folks in the US got next to nothing and had been there much longer. It seems they were "in the wrong state".

I can't imagine my healthcare being tied to the fuckwits who employ me.

I think teeth is also getting federal coverage. I believe they are slow rolling it out over this year. I heard about one can apply to get earlier coverage for lower/no incomes, if you lose your benefits.
