Never thought I would be saying thank GOD for COBRA. Before I started my new job I had a major surgery, got my eyes check, teeth cleaned, etc. My new job coverage isn't set to start until June 1, 2009. No problem right? I mean I'm a well person. As you have probably guessed--I got sick. I mean the whole sha-bang...a trip to ER by ambulance, x-rays, ultrasound, CT Scan, you name it.
When I could make it back to work I called my previous employer to inquire about COBRA. I made the COBRA election on April 20, 2009. My deadline was April 24, 2009. Talk about just under the wire. The $1500 that I'll have to pay for COBRA coverage will pale in comparison to the litany of charges that will result from that trip to ER.
