Are You Losing COBRA Coverage Next Month?

The Chron today has a helpful little public service tidbit for those who may be losing their subsidized COBRA health coverage on Monday, which is when the federal COBRA subsidy ends for those who began receiving it when it began in March 2009. The essential advice: Look into Cal-COBRA. You may be eligible for 18 more months of coverage, but as far as we know that's not subsidized, so this isn't very helpful. The other option of course is Kaiser. Don't go uninsured! What if your appendix bursts?! [Chron]
