Check with your carrier!!
I had to go to COBRA after a diagnosis of having ahysterectomy, no problems there, made my payments and everything was covered. 5 months later in a BAD car accident, still had coverage, so no problem....
Then I get a letter from the Carrier's office...here in California, not sure if it's the same all over, you can continue coverage, but only for 18 MONTHS!
What a rude awakening I had recently to see my premium jump from $168 to $364! Unfortunately for me I now have existing conditions from 5 surgeries due to the car accident and now looks like Breast Cancer, so I have no choice but to continue coverage so I know I am taken care of!
If you don't have pre-exsisting conditions, check with other carriers, even on-line! There are lots of them out there fighting to get your $$$'s.
I wish you the best on this....it's no fun!
Frugal today? Still canning Tuna! DH brought home close to 60 pounds!
I have canned plain, Asian (Wasabi, fresh ginger and a dash of sesame oil) Jalapeno, and now Garlic.....28 pints in total now...whew...I guess it's a good thing we love seafood in this house!
Been washing the dishes by hand between canning rounds, washing in cold water, etc.
Guess the most frugal thing is the fact that I am home taking care of business, since youngest DS is at first day of school and oldest DS and DH are at woork, so major housework in between!
Hope everyone is having a great day!
Janet
