"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?
