According to Tim Sweeney’s tweet from five minutes ago,
Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision. Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation and handling it in advance.
Idk if this is in the US, but its a pretty common thing. I have personal experience with an employer cutting insurance for a family member when they were dying of cancer
That’s the cruelest thing about our insurance system. When you get really sick and can no longer work, you also lose coverage.
The cruelty is the point
