There's a thing called COBRA which allows you to pay a relatively low fee (iirc it's ~$700/m) to continue

Boy, are you going to be in for a surprise if you ever utilize COBRA. If there's a "we" involved, plan on about double that, because you will pay the full, undiscounted premium. They don't want you on that plan, and they only do it because of federal law, so they're going to make it as unappealing as possible.

insurance post-employment for a short period (I think 9-12 months? Unsure exactly)

18 months.



The "relatively low free" part threw me off. Is that a joke? COBRA was $600/mo the one time I might have needed it. That was 6x what I was paying at the job I was in before.
