A few more facts may be in order. Such as whether this woman was still employed. If not, it is universal SOP for someone to lose health coverage once they are no longer employed. Indeed, it is illegal or at least a breach of contract to keep someone on the company health plan if they are no longer employed.

Sounds like this is what happened here absent evidence to the contrary.
I worked with a guy in NYC that did worse. I still can’t believe Hunter was elected.

Toad Venom, sweeping the nation!

Mike Tyson says he nearly died the first time he smoked TOAD VENOM - a psychedelic drug that is illegal in the US and also has been touted by Hunter Biden and Christina Haack

Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold

How Hunter Biden’s Firm Helped Secure Cobalt for the Chinese
The president’s son was part owner of a venture involved in the $3.8 billion purchase by a Chinese conglomerate of one of the world’s largest cobalt deposits. The metal is a key ingredient in batteries for electric vehicles.

...

When the mine was sold, Mr. Biden’s father was near the end of his term as vice president. In the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, Hunter Biden’s business ties in China were widely publicized.

But BHR’s role in the Chinese mine purchase was not a major focus. It has taken on new relevance because the Biden administration warned this year that China might use its growing dominance of cobalt to disrupt America’s retooling of its auto industry to make electric vehicles. The metal is among several key ingredients in electric car batteries.

When asked if the president had been made aware of his son’s connection to the sale, a White House spokesman said, “No.”

Interestingly, in July the White House pointed out that Cobalt is critical to the future of automotive manufacturing:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u ... ers#page=7
Our economic security—steady employment and smooth operations of critical industries—also requires secure and resilient supply chains. For more than a decade, the Department of Defense has consistently found that essential civilian industries would bear the preponderance of harm from a disruption of strategic and critical materials supply. The Department of Energy notes that, today, China refines 60 percent of the world’s lithium and 80 percent of the world’s cobalt, two core inputs to high-capacity batteries—which presents a critical vulnerability to the future of the U.S. domestic auto industry.
Really, it's just so good for Hunter. I'm very proud of him. Overcoming all of his personal hurdles, the drugs and tax violations and money laundering charges, and getting a good job with such a sharp, Chinese company that knew his value and expertise in Cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

... the US is not in any danger of not having long term access to cobalt. Lots of it available, just has to be mined. We have shuttered copper mines in this country that could supply what we need. Other international corporations are upping their operations. Like anything else this is a business decision, made on a worldwide, international business scale. The Chinese need customers if they are to produce cobalt at their maximum capacity, which would minimize their production costs. Which is their only realistic goal. Thinking they can corner the world market and shut everyone else out is a cosmically dumb idea.

That's just dumb. Calming the ginned-up hysteria about Chinese cobalt, especially in this disingenuous "Hunter Biden" thread is the hugely unhelpful activity here. How is saying this "issue" is not that high up "divisive" or "unhelpful"?? Large lack of self-awareness there...i'd say pushing back on the unwarranted outrage of the issue NEEDS to be resisted...so, thanks jhu.
