.....losing insurance, which I am sorry to hear happened to you. That angers me, that they would cancel you because of of a late payment.
Noa:
I was quite surprised that a late payment would do it also. The state agency administering COBRA here said that was the standard procedure for anyone who has a late payment. Maybe it saves the feds $$ ? I think I'd be ok if I just wanted to get a $12,000 screwdriver or something, but health insurance...that's just wasteful.Oops, guess I'm a little angry too. I have to start checking now for free meds (or low cost meds) so I can get some by the time I need a refill. I just found out about this yesterday.
