Need health insurance

[l8rd8r]

I went out on a medical leave in March 05. The East Co. insisted I take a 12 week fmly leave even though my illness would go past the 12 week period. That put me into June when I was then put on a medical leave. The new contract stated that anyone going on med. leave in June would only have 180 days of coverage. Now it ran out and I need to get another one that will cover Rhumatoid Arthritis. Had they just accepted my March leave date for the medical leave I'd be cover for one year. Any ideas of cheap (ya I know) coverage would be appreciated. Thanks

I know you started this in the US Airways forum due to your past employment with them. I am moving this to the Water Cooler because it does not directly pertain to US Airways. I however urge anyone with information that might help to post or PM l8rd8r. After all we are all in the aviation family.

Talk to a lawyer.

Sentrido, What do you mean?

They should have offered you COBRA. Any private insurance you purchase would probably have a pre-exisiting condition clause. But you can try insure.com to compare rates.

Thanks HR Diva. Cobra is $800+ so I was hoping toget it for less.
