Health Insurance gap

[UDRider]

I will be without health insurance for a week. How exactly does that work? I think I can get Cobra, but it's $$$, and I think I have to do it for a month?

Also I will be out of the country. Would just getting travel insurance be enough? I think allianz travel insurance offers primary travel insurance.

don't get hurt?

Yeah that or COBRA. I floated along without insurgence for like a month between jobs. Its not fun.

Where are you travelling? Your destination (international?) might actually have decent healthcare coverage--even for visitors

Somewhere in Europe. Spain and Italy.

Your Corba May not cover you out of the USA. Medicare does not.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about a week without insurance.

Well unlike UD, you are young, healthy, and good looking!

You have 60 days to opt in to COBRA at which point it is effective from the date your employer sponsored coverage ended. If something happens then opt in, otherwise just play it by ear.

Murphy,s law. Cousin went without insurance one time, two weeks in 16 year old daughter has appendices. :dunno

If you were involved in an insurgence, I'd definitely recommend insurance.

Currently have no GF, so I’m hornier than a two peckered billy goat.

Ouch

Don’t worry, you are still plenty rugged.

So choices are do nothing, try to sign up for Cobra/California coverage which might not work since I will be out of the country?

Buy travel health insurance and just don’t come home if you get sick?

Hope you enjoy your new life.

:wow
now you have me worried about traveling out of the country. do people with health insurance coverage from their employer know automatically to buy health insurance coverage while travelling overseas? flesh eating bacteria or avian flu come to mind, cereally ...
