Trudy, the deal is that I want to get coverage now (ideally some cheap catastrophic) rather than taking COBRA, so I don't want to double-cover myself. Er. If that makes sense.
It does. But how long is the gap?
If it's not too long and you don't have active need for the coverage you can rely on retro-active COBRAing should something go awry.
At least two months with a possible cross-country drive in the middle.

Have told potential new boss that I would give her a definite answer tomorrow as current boss wants time to find health insurance options.
how long does eye dilation last?
At least four hours for me. It was teh suck.
Emily,
At this point, you may have more than a 60-day gap just given the amount of time it takes for the application process to be complete for self-insurance. I did this about the same time last year and it took awhile to be sure my application was accepted, etc. To be safe, you could just do COBRA for July and apply somewhere else now for coverage starting August 1. If it doesn't look like it will happen quickly, you could then do one more month of COBRA.
Re: pre-exisiting conditions. When I couldn't prove I was covered for the very first month of the previous two-year-period (I was I just didn't have the paperwork saying so), Blue-Cross Blus Shield insisted on a 10-month waiting period for anything related to my pre-exisiting condition.
Emily, I'd get the COBRA, but I'm extra nervous about this kind of stuff.
I will see you on the bus to hell, I will be the one driving. MM and I also have an appointment with the Pope.
Ah, the DC F2F. Good times.
so how long does eye dilation last? this is killing me. mega irritating
I'm impressed that you can stand to look at the computer screen long enough to type!
To shower or not to shower, that is the question...
See, for me it's to nap or not to nap.
