I just bought some health insurance.

The wonderful people at my last employer chose to cancel my insurance before the end of the month. I was under the impression that my insurance would be good until the end of the month. That's the way it worked for me at previous jobs. Ah, well.

It's not a Cadillac plan, but it will keep us from owing a million dollars if something really bad happens over the next three months. It's got good prescription drug coverage and both me and my wife are covered. I think we caught a break on the premium because we don't make a lot of money.

1. A couple of things...........

#1. Did they (your former employer) offer you the opportunity for COBRA?

#2. Did you pay toward your insurance? e.g. did you have money taken out of your pay.

2. That haven't offered me COBRA, but I seriously doubt I could afford it.

I had three paychecks in July and they deducted for health insurance on all three. The last one was on the 15th.

3. Then you were covered until the end of July....n/t
