Today Our Health Insurance Runs Out
Today is a very special day. It is the last day the lovely wife and I will have health insurance.
The insurance from my last employer, through COBRA, expires September 30, 2008. I swallowed my pride and called them and asked if they would consider keeping me on. I’ve been paying the last 18 months, so they know I’m good for it.
Nope.
I make $405 a week on unemployment. That’s too much for Medicaid.
New York has two programs intended to bridge the gap between corporate and Medicaid health coverage. I make too much money on unemployment for Family Health Plus.
Healthy New York is what’s left. Except you have to have been employed in the last twelve months. So, I am taking the position that a temp job that ended in early September 2007 and the few dollars I make here and with a column sold to the Examiner qualify me. We shall see.
I am joining the local Chamber of Commerce. I am informed that they have insurance available.
Silly Chuck, why on earth did you wait so long?
I honest to God thought that over twenty years of solid experience as a senior level accountant would get me a job before I would need to worry about losing my insurance.
Silly Chuck.
So, look at the advertisements. Consider making a donation. Say a prayer for us.
