Received official word that my COBRA benefits expire at the end of August--a fact I knew, but having them send me a reminder letter has ramped up the stress. I'm hoping that my HMO will be willing to continue covering us under an individual policy, but I'm not sure how likely that is, considering all my pre-existing health conditions. And if they do, I have no idea how much it'll cost. Of course, if they don't, I'm royally screwed. I keep wanting to go "I'll worry about this later" but it's almost April. Too much later and I'll be out of time as well as medical coverage. Urk.
I could really go for a national health plan about now. Stupid country.
