The problem with worrying about your health is that it can actually impact your health, causing you to worry more about your health.
I purchased short-term high-deductable health insurance and I have a doctor’s appointment next week. My mother should be happy.
Edit: Meant to say high-deductable instead of high-premium.
how much are the monthly premiums if i may be so bold to ask?
I didn’t mean to say “high-premium,” I meant “high-deductable”
$168 for three months of insurance with a $2000 deductable.
not bad. COBRA is a rip-off for $320/month for same coverage your company was giving you… you can do a kaiser permenante personal policy for like $160/month but coverage is thru their HMO. who did you go to for your policy?
Um, no
COBRA is not a rip-off for someone like me, who’s uninsureable. 20 years ago, I had a couple open heart surgeries. Nowadays, I can’t get full coverage for less than 1k/mo, if at all. I was HAPPILY paying 270$/mo for 2 years through COBRA’s MR MIP (Major Risk – Medical Insurance Program). California was subsidizing my continued full Kaiser coverage. After completing that 2 year stint, I was guaranteed coverage by the state, with my program carrier. My Kaiser premium is down to 180ish. Thx for your tax dollars.
Bah! Just take a couple swigs of NyQuil, soon you won’t care if you are sick and if you are sick, it’ll make you not care about that either.
