Uggh, well thank you for the information. I am hoping that insurance rates come down somewhat in january. Really I am more fortunate than many in this situation, at least having my long term disability approved for now. But it's still a lot less than the paychecks I used to make, and to have to pay $550 a month cobra each & every month will be very tough. This has been a bad years for medical expenses.
Are you saying the SSDI income won't happen for 2 years, or the health insurance coverage, or both?
