Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Bruce, I had to let you know that my school district and Aetna came through and I have COBRA for another 18 months! And supposedly, I will be able to get an individual policy for a slightly higher price when COBRA ends. Thank you so much for all of your suggestions and help. It has been a 50 day rollar coaster ride but for the moment it seems solved. Take care Bruce, R.
