Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented surge in unemployment in the United States. For many, job loss carries the added sting of losing health insurance. The authors discuss the problem of lack of health insurance during a time of risk for severe illness and offer potential solutions that policymakers should consider to mitigate harm.
