Hi Joe,
Last time I checked, COBRA is a pretty tough option. You basically will have to pay the full cost of your portion (if you are paying now) plus the full cost of your employers share. So your total cost would be probably a lot more than you ever thought it could be.
The good news is with Obama care, you don’t need insurance. Just wait till you get sick, then buy it. Just pay for all the small stuff in cash at those minute-clinics.

Hmm? Not goo, but sort of what I had heard.

I have never taken anything from the government. A friend of mine told me that we probably are eligible for medical assistance through a state program.

Do you know if it may be possible to block out a portion of my bennies with COBRA; 2 of my children are in braces. I’d like to retain this if I can’t hold onto the medical.

That's a fine plan as long as everyone in your family stays healthy and accident-free outside of the open enrollment periods. Having your child's appendix burst outside of open enrollment can be a budget buster.
