Over the past month, a staggering 22 million Americans filed for unemployment as cities and states around the country continue to order Americans to shelter in place in an attempt to mitigate the public health effects of the coronavirus. 

In the U.S., unemployment during a health crisis can be especially challenging since about 49% of Americans get health insurance through their employer. As many as 9.2 million workers are at risk of losing their employer-provided health insurance, according to the latest estimates from the Economic Policy Institute.
