Your father should be eligible to continue his insurance that he had thru his employer - at his total expense of course - and for a limited time.

You didn't state your fathers age, but is he a member of AARP? They have numerous health care insurance plans for those over 50, yet under 65. It is not the same as the Medicare supplemental plans you see advertised, since you have to be 65 or on Medicare for those.

I wish him good luck. It's bad enough to lose the job, without losing medical coverage as well.
