When the axe fell, I was in a large group that was taken in by another firm with a key "bonus" - their health plan would cover our pre-existing conditions. Three months later, I was let go but could stay on my new employer's health insurance. My son's surgery was covered.

Also - I'm adopted. Which of my eight "siblings" do you want to know about?
The adoptive ones?
The step sibs?
The maternal bios I met four years ago?
The paternal bios who want nothing to do with me?
