I am losing my job sometime this week (though they won't give me a date), and my

COBRA payment is $610/mo! That's the highest I've ever seen COBRA for an

individual. With that payment, I can't afford to keep the kids in daycare, and

don't know how to pay my mortgage on the house we just moved into a month ago.

So...with all of that information, I know nobody wants to cover me, since I have

a pre-existing condition, but do any of you know of anyone who does offer

covereage immediatly with acceptance to pre-existing conditions?

As part of the stimulus package, the federal government is picking up 65% of the

premiums if you qualify, the qualifications are pretty generous. I'm not sure

if I can post sites here but if you just google something like cobra discount

under obama, you'll see links that give you the info. Good luck.

Are you married? If so this is a qualifying event for your husband (if

married) and he can add you to his insurance.

Try Cinergy Health. It covers pre-existing conditions. Personally I have

only seen it advertised on television but I'm sure if you go to their

website it might tell you more. I wrote down the phone number off TV just in

case I needed it. The number is 1-800-398-1650. From what it says on

television you are covered immediately and it does cover pre-existing

conditions. I'm from Michigan but we have satellite TV so it could cover you

where you are. Worth a try hun.

What county are you in? Is there any chance you can qualify for the Access card?

Wow, !! I wish the previous administration had something in place like this

back when I left my job in 2005! I paid well over $900 per month in COBRA

premiums for 18 months and then was left with no insurance after that. When I

tried to get different coverage during COBRA, I was told I would have to wait

until the end of the 18 months allowance before I could change. Then when that

time was up, I had a diagnosis and along with my other health issues was

considered uninsurable - unless I wanted to pay $1800+ per month in premiums

with lousy copays and sky-high deductibles.

I'm happy to hear that people have much better options now - especially with the

economy in the condition it is in.....Doreen
