Are you ready for more bad news? If you had been laid off eleven days earlier, the government would have picked up 65% of your COBRA tab. But since you were laid off after June 1, 2010, you have to pay the full amount.
Yeah, I got that info when I got my COBRA info. Good Lord! for my Wife and myself, it’s over $1400 a MONTH JUST for medical, no dental or prescriptions. Now I have to look for a “cheap” private health plan, and my wife has to pay for another part of Medicare out of pocket.
You can’t win for losing, I swear. Someone wake me when the nightmare is over....
