I'm in the same boat Rich, since I just started this job, am on contract, so no bennies till July 1 (then $1000/month just for medical, or $800/month for medical privately and 6-12 months pre-existing on any dental unless I buy the $1000 package), and they wanted $1800 a month for COBRA and I was getting $1600! SOOO, all of this crap is happening without insurance, and being contract and hourly, not getting paid like I would as salary. And, to top it off, I got home today for an hour and a half, cleaned up, and had another episode, so got to ride the ambulance back to the ER and was re-admitted. They put me on Plavix, and gave me a shot in the gut of Lovonox, so my blood should be thin as water by now! Hopefully out tomorrow mid-afternoon, they are doing the summer concert thing in the park here in Longmont and doing Celtic Rock, I would love to make it, but have to figure out why this is happening and how to control it, or I will have to park the bike!
