It doesn't sound as good as your current plan but hopefully you can find something that can work well enough. Perhaps more plans will be offered between now and 3/2014. Good luck. I hope the uncertainty ends quickly. No one with MG deserves that kind of stress.
Did it provide any premiums for any group?

i figured my medical billings for last year, based on billings not payments by insurance company, since insurance only pays about 1/5 of the bill! if I didnt have insurance, I would have incurred about $600,000 worth of bills (IVIG billed at $35,000 per every three weeks is big majority of that)
