LOL!!! Thanks Marie!
I hear the sarcasm.....
I have 6 months and I've started the process by searching on-line. There are some wonderful tools to access quotes on the Internet. I'll keep you posted on what happens in my situation. I don't relish the thought of paying through the nose for insurance just because of my depression when otherwise I am perfectly healthy.... Oh well... That's life.

> My family and I are in a similar situation because our COBRA coverage is going away this month. In looking around for new insurance (individual family) my husband was upfront re: my mental illness. We were told that while we will be able to get coverage (probably higher cost though), most ins. companies will investigate your illness (back and forth with pdoc) ad nauseum, so leave yourself MONTHS to find new coverage. I guess we were naive to think it could be accomplished in a matter of weeks. Geez - it's not like getting a *mortgage* or anything! (the mortgage took two days!) Incredible.
