Crap I hope surgery can be moved up

Crap stands. They can't move my surgery up to any earlier than the 11/11 date. Poopsicles- looks like I may have to buy COBRA for one month if my husband loses his job and that really sucks! One month of COBRA will cost us one month of living expenses. Now my only hope is a cancellation which is highly unusual. Grrrrr

uggggggg!!! Paying for one month of COBRA coverage for a lifetime of health is worth it, YOU are worth it!! In the meantime, start your pre-op diet, if you have one, so you can be ready if a spot opens up.

Also, if your family income drops enough for a few months you may qualify for Medicaid. When you get Medicaid they can go back 3 months and pay those medical bills. They may also cover the COBRA premiums. The financial assistance people in your county can help you with this. The unenployment office should also have some resources or contacts for you should your husband lose his job.

Thanks so much! I will definitely keep those resources in mind when the time comes. Best case scenario is I just worry and then my hubby keeps his job! I am more of a plan for the worst and hope for the best kind of girls so I will keep trying to hope.

Yes. Worst case you can get COBRA to Continue your insurance for a few months. Of your have to pay the COBRA premium but much cheaper than the surgery. Good luck
