Estimated net worth of 95 million. I really don't care about her claimed money struggles.

“I had to come back for the insurance, they informed me earlier this year, I’m on COBRA,” Williams, 45, told interviewer Rennae Stubbs, as they laughed along with the crowd. “So that’s like, I got to get my benefits on. Started training.”
“She’s actually not lying about that, cause we talked about that six years ago,” Stubbs replied. “You’re actually telling the truth. Insurance is hard.”

COBRA is a fucking joke so that they can claim that you have the "option" to get health insurance while being completely unaffordable.
-
COBRA is just you paying the rate your employer negotiated with their benefits broker without them covering a portion of it.
Health insurance shouldn't be tied to employment but the bigger issue is that private health insurance is just a parasitic middle man that restricts where you can get care all while exploiting you, your employer and the care providers.

My COBRA cost $100/month less than ACA, so I guess I'm grateful?
Anyway, you can negotiate COBRA reimbursement when changing jobs. I've done it twice. Just throwing it out there. Can't help you if your next job is retirement or something

Terribly confusing article, should not be displayed.
In a proper society, health is not related to work. We are not slaves.
-
We're not?
-
We are not. Perhaps we are enslaved to some extent, but by nature, none of us ***are *** slaves.

Clickbait title. She's joking.
