Hi Limi I'm headed in the same direction. No health insurance will cover you. i'm faced with the same thing in november, once i officially resign to apply for my disablility. I spoke to an agent. who told me to call the department of insurance and ask for the high risk dept and explain my situation. try going online using your state and the dept of insurance. i'm sure there should be one in your state to. i'm calling monday. also, can you go to an emergency rm and explain to the doctor your situation. let him know that your not feeling well and bring your empty medicine bottles with you. he probably can give you one refill and do some blood work on you. do some research free clinics and hospitals. good luck ....Belief

limiluei, I think you should be able to get coverage through your husband's new job. Usually, group coverage does not have a pre-existing clause. But, aske to make sure. Also, check with your state's dept of insurance.

belief, you should be covered through COBRA for at least 18 months. It's expensive, but at least you are covered.

I'm kind of in the same boat right now. My husband left his job in Sept. We had insurance through Sept 30. I had blood work done before that not thinking they would find anything serious. Well, they found lupus...I think. We can pick up the insurance through Cobra but it costs over $800 per month for the family and we can only use it for 18 months. I believe that if you sign up for a group plan,such as through your hubby's work, they will take care of your existing condition. If you get an individual plan, they won't. That's here in PA. I don't know if it's the same everywhere. My hubby doesn't want to go back to work for someone else. He wants to go into real estate which will mean we're screwed with the group insurance plan. Check out the group plan coverages in your area.Good luck.
