What was compared and what the system found
Question
How should an eligible private-sector worker's existing health insurance continue during any uncovered period of lawful presence after residence permit cancellation?
Result
Where a residual coverage gap exists, the assessed arrangement continues the previous insurance package, including newly arising covered conditions within the remaining limits. A narrower pool for established treatment reduces employer burden but leaves new conditions exposed.
What changed the comparison
The comparison separates the 30-day insurance requirement from the longer period in which a former resident may lawfully remain. It changes when replacement coverage is actually available, medical exposure is small, or the employer is financially weak.
Limits and further work
The proposal does not assume that every worker has a coverage gap. Eligibility, employer capacity, replacement access and a broader pooled arrangement require continuing testing.
