Stay and follow Duckster’s advice. Visit your doctor and dentist to get all the routine checkups and cleaning while you still have good health insurance.

I have a friend who was laid off from her CA job over a year ago and she was just rehired at the same place. Her benefits were retained, which means she should have an awesome maternity leave when she takes it.
