Just heard back from Blue Shield yesterday, apparently because I've had health issues in the past they're going to decline my business. Kthnxbai. I'm going to look into Cobra but if it's more than $100 a month (and I'm certain it is) then that's not going to work either. If I go with anybody else I have to change doctors and that's just depressing. At least I only have one prescription and I'm pretty sure it's only around $100 a month so I'll get by...I just can't get sick or injured until I find a new job and am covered again.

We're having our business wake today which I'm sure is just going to do wonders for my mood. If I don't end up a quivering wreck by tonight I'm going to be astonished. I just need to hold it together long enough to drive home, check in on Minnie and Maggie, and feed my own monsters...then all bets are off.

Does your county offer a group plan for working adults?

I know that Contra Costa does - it's basically MediCal, iirc, for around $200/month and I thin it's one of those "If you can afford the premium, and live in the county, they HAVE to cover you" type situations.

But I don't know what sort of services your county offers.

Also, there are those "prescription discount cards" which could at least take the sting off your monthly refills. Unfortunately, I don't use 'em, so I can't recommend one vendor over another...

I'll check into the county thing, though our HR person didn't seem to think it was very likely. She's recommending COBRA for those of us who can manage it.

I'm on COBRA right now and it's costing me a FUCKING FORTUNE.

I'm going to have to drop dental and vision coverage in order to help make the bill.

I, too, need a job with a group plan, asap...

What kind of job are you looking for? I'd be happy to forward any listings your way that I come across.

Admin/Exec. Asst.

Entry-level tech writing.

Entry-level video editing.

Entry-level-any-motion-picture-thing, really.

But it's got to be accessible by pubtrans, as I don't drive.
