To reduce the threat posed by being without health insurance in the event of job change, the government passed a piece of legislation called COBRA which guarantees exiting employees the right to extend group health insurance coverage so long as they pay the full premium. COBRA can now be used to extend group health insurance coverage for up to 18 months while seeking a new job or alternative health insurance plans.

That the employee is responsible for the entire costs of the group health insurance plan is a major roadblock for many people who are between jobs. The costs of group health insurance are just too much without a contribution from the former employer.
