Summary

More than 50 million people have applied for unemployment since the pandemic began, and nearly half of U.S. workers get their health insurance through work. One study found that an estimated 5.4 million American workers lost their health insurance in just three months. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss coverage alternatives and what Americans who lost their coverage can do. Have a money question? Email me here.
