Insurance and stuff

[Jen27]

Very condensed version of me and my dilemma

:cussing: :bonk: :cussing: :bonk: :cussing: :bonk:
I'm 22 w/ IC
I worked part time @ a company as a receptionist in the afternoons
I went to school full time in the mornings
In August, my IC got soo bad I had to drop out of school
I missed one week of work (HR and everyone knew about my condition blah blah blah) but they fired me anyways.
Now I collect unemployment (embarrassing, but I really can't work until I feel better, i am not going to mess w/ my health)
Because I was in school full time, I had insurance thru my dad's company (united airlines).
Well I guess my Insurance co just found out I wasn't in school full time b/c they dropped me.

Its so unfair. Insurance is supposed to help you when you're sick...not DROP you. I can't work (yet) and I can't go to school until January. What am I supposed to do for insurance? I scheduled a CMG and urodynamics and now there is no way I'm paying out of pocket. I'm getting 132 a week from the state of Illinois, I'm not complaining, but thats not going to be enough to see whats wrong w/ me.

Does anyone know about insurance plans I could buy on a month to month basis?

Jen,
I work in insurance. You can't buy on a month to month with a pre-existing health condition. Private companies won't take you. However, you can get COBRA coverage under your dad's policy for up to 18 months sometimes longer if you are disabled. COBRA is expensive but better than nothing at all.

Will Dad maybe help you pay some of it?
