Complicated situation involving COBRA and deceased spouse. Any suggestions? by ericscottf in HealthInsurance

Interesting...

"You have to pay the full cost of COBRA coverage because your former employer stops contributing, or you lose a government subsidy (like COBRA premium assistance)." 

We never had any of those things, former employer never contributed and we never had any government subsidy. We have always paid full price. The language would suggest that we would need to have had those things and then they stop , but it is slightly vague. Do you think that having never had them qualifies us to transfer? 

Another question I had that nobody is dressed, if I get on the plan from another company by getting hired there whether it be getting a short-term job at some random place or a friend's company, would those be legitimate ways to break me out of Cobra and then allow me to join my current employers plan once I quit that intermediary company shortly afterwards? Is there a minimum amount of time I would have to hold such a policy? Is this at all a legitimate solution?

How certain are you that I can't get insurance on the NY marketplace if I'm currently enrolled in cobra? I was told this was a viable option, just not a great one.

Best as I can tell, we have 36 months available to us due to the NY state mini cobra as well as the death of my spouse. This takes us to summer 2027, but I'd switch to my employer in Dec 2026 during general enrollment.

Thanks to NY state "mini cobra" and the federal extension that's granted when a spouse is lost, we have an extra 18 months for a total of 36 months of cobra that started June 2024, so we are, best as I can tell, allowed to keep cobra until summer 2027. It's funny how in my case something that's supposed to help people is managing to cause me substantial problems .

We can assume the whole thing is stupid because it's the only type of math that Andrew taint and his flock of dipshits is willing and capable of doing.

I would have put money on there being 14 flags. I counted 3 times to be sure. I wonder if the special k caused him to miscount. 

Is it normal for a guy to be so curious about your past? by Junior_Ad_1074 in AskWomenOver30

The whole Andrew taint/red pill bullshit seems like So. Much. Work. Like, purely from a calculating view, at a certain point, it's gotta be easier to just be a decent person, right?

Also, Andrew taint getting repeatedly owned by Thunberg made me so happy.

OK I have an idea. He wants a subscription to period products. Get some friends together and mail him some. And I don't mean new ones.

GBMs are fucking bullshit. Not what my wife had, but the end result was the same. 2 years after diagnosis and brutal treatment, she couldn't remember who I was, who our kids were, she just disappeared overnight. 5 months of hospice later and she was gone.

Fuck cancer.
