Holding onto a policy is not an option
I have a job now, and I have applied for another somewhere where I will have better pay, benefits and all around working environment. However when I think about getting the job I worry about my Pre-Existing Medical Conditions and whether my new insurance if I get the job will cover me. They think they are doing you a big favor by letting you use the cobra coverage, which simply put means you can pay for it out of pocket for a while after you leave a job. Well it is not an option for me to pay hundreds of dollars extra a month yet what else can I do. What if I cannot come up with the money and still take the other job? There must be another way and I sure hope they think of one soon.
