I was in HR for years, but at this point that was several years back.  But here's what you need to ask about; COBRA coverage.  You may be eligible, check with either your HR department or your insurance company.  If eligible you will be offered continued coverage at your own expense.  It can be pricey but can still beat the heck out of being without.  You typically have 90 days to elect this before having to commit too.  When and if you are able to aquire new coverage either with a new employer, or under a spouses employer, you can cancel your COBRA coverage when the policy becomes effective.  This way you also have no lapse in coverage, which you also don't want.  Definitely don't be afraid to ask.  If you are eligible, COBRA can keep you covered!
