Kosher? No, that's the Hanukkah picture.

In my state, the only thing a former employer can be asked is "would you rehire this person?" -- any answer past that can end in a lawsuit.
For unemployment, a termination by the company means automatic unemployment, unless the company fights against paying it on the grounds that the employee was WRONGFULLY terminated. Unless the former employee can prove the reasons were unjust, unemployment is delayed six weeks.
If you walk off the job or voluntarily resign, unemployment benefits are rare if non-existent.
Health care, however, has changed. An individual terminated from their position has several possibilities of receiving health care coverage. They can choose to continue their coverage under COBRA (see here: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/cobraemployee.pdf) or apply to the Health Care Marketplace. If they have not been able to secure another position where health care is offered, they may be placed into state Medicaid or they may be given state-sponsored insurance or vouchers (thanks, Obama!). Mental health care coverage is included. For any interim period between termination and new coverage, the state will cover up to 90 days worth of medical bills.
However, if one chooses not to engage or enroll in a health benefits package, they can receive a tax penalty.

I don't know if someone has said it already, but from what I keep hearing about how employment in the US, I'm so glad I live in Europe. It's not perfect but wow.

I'm not too keen on working in America, either, so there's that.
10 pages by Wednesday. If this wouldn't have been filler, I can only imagine how many posts I'd have to sift through...
