Oh, I have the day off, I can go get a pertussis booster. ... but wait, I cannot, because I am unemployed and have no health insurance!

Week two of unemployment is not off to a fantastic start, although with luck this will be the end of it.
I have things to do today: go to Good Will, clean out the garage, make bread. I would weed the yard, but it's raining.
Bah.
No COBRA, Consuela?
I hope this is very brief for you.
No coverage through the end of the month? I thought that was standard?

Probably not worth it for one shot, so unless you choose the retroactive once you DO need...
So, I was a tad bit bitter that my boss not only first scheduled my review when I'd planned a haircut (so I had to cancel that--and reschedule for MARCH) but also then rescheduled the review for 8AM Monday. Ick? BUT...I got a promotion! Which is good, because if I hadn't, I would've started looking for a new job. Yay. I guess I've already spent the increase, though. :)
YAY PROMOTED (if shaggy-headed) MEARA!!
Erin, my shoes are as yours. I have to go to the local community center to have a good soak, and that involved disgusting quantities of chemicals. There was some anger that i couldn't afford to expant my bathroom enough for a soaker tub. or afford a soaker tub.
Isn't there a penalty of some sort for having interrupted insurance? Or does that only matter if you have a pre-existing condition of some sort?
Congrats, meara!
Man, I cannot compose this email for shit.
Woo hoo for the promotion!
Yay meara!
I would LOOOOOOVE to have a big soaker tub, and it was one of the few things that I did not like about my house I bought--no big tub, and no room to expand and get one! Sad.

I believe there is (in re: preexisting conditions) but it's over a certain amount of time (>60 days? >90?). So if you're only going to be without for a few weeks, it's no big. And since you CAN retroactive Cobra, it's often worth going without for a month or so, before deciding if you'll need it to stop the clock, or to cover actual health issues.
