Lost Your Job? Don't Panic! A Healthcare Alternative To COBRA!

Life Just Changed. Your Healthcare Should, Too.

Losing your job can feel overwhelming. With so many decisions ahead, one thing is crystal clear: you need to support your family's health — without sacrificing your financial future.

While COBRA may seem like the safe, government-backed option, it's often shockingly expensive and doesn't fit today's flexible lifestyles. That's where Knew Health comes in.

We're here to offer you something simpler — a Medical Cost Sharing Community that saves you money, gives you peace of mind, and lets you breathe easier. (Important: Knew Health is NOT health insurance, but rather a Community of Members who share eligible Medical Needs.)


Why Knew Health Is a Great Healthcare Alternative

1. Affordable Protection You Can Count On

COBRA can cost you hundreds — sometimes even over a thousand dollars — every month . You're essentially paying full-price without employer support. The COBRA site itself admits that even with subsidies most people can barely afford their plans, and only 30% were even aware that there were other healthcare alternatives available to them!

At Knew Health, we believe in fair monthly contributions that put your needs first.

Our Members often save 40-50% compared to health insurance — without compromising on quality care. Instead of bloated costs, you invest in a Community-powered model where Members share each other's eligible Medical Needs affordably and transparently.

2. Healthcare for Life's Ups and Downs

Whether it's an unexpected surgery, a hospital stay, or managing a serious diagnosis, you'll have a reliable Community in place to help with eligible Medical Needs that matter most: your family and your future .

Plus, we go beyond just medical sharing — offering preventive services, telemedicine access and Self-Care Credits for holistic wellness services, because health isn't just about emergencies — it's about staying healthy, not just managing sickness. Members can choose from three IUA options ($1,000, $2,500, or $5,000) with up to 3 IUAs maximum per year.

3. There are Healthcare Alternatives! No More Feeling Trapped by High Costs

Choosing COBRA often means feeling locked into a system that doesn't work for you — high costs, little flexibility, and no end in sight .

With Knew Health, you have freedom and control .

You choose providers. You belong to a caring Community that believes in empowering you , not limiting you. Your eligible Medical Needs can be shared by the Community, giving you peace of mind during uncertain times.


Support Your Family. Support Your Wallet. Support Your Peace of Mind.

At Knew Health, we're more than Medical Cost Sharing — we're a movement toward smarter healthcare .

We were built by people just like you — individuals who wanted affordable, ethical, and holistic solutions that work for real life, especially during times of transition.

  • Affordable monthly contributions that fit your new budget.
