7. Fletcher has worked as a regional sales manager for Waiyo, a firm that sells espresso machines
to offices and restaurants, for 8 years. Faced with falling demand and plummeting sales, the firm
decided to prune its operations and concentrate on its most profitable markets. Fletcher's sales
territory was not part of this and he was let go of by the management, with a modest severance
package. However, his health coverage was discontinued following his termination, even though
Fletcher was willing to pay for it. Which of the following Acts can Fletcher cite in his efforts to
have his health coverage benefits restored?
(A) Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
(B) Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
(C) Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
(D) Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
