Hi everyone. For anyone familiar with part of my story, in brief, I didn't qualify for FMLA bc I was with a company for less than a year... Yadda yadda... Since the company is in an at will state & a "sovereign nation" I was given the "opportunity" to come back to work after two weeks (considered) vacation when/after I delivered my baby & with a doctor's note. I saved extra time off which I profusely used the weeks before labor once I found out my grim situation. Anyways I made it back in two weeks but exhausted, missing my newborn, etc.
May I please have some details, suggestions, etc. on what private health insurance I can get for my newborn & I? My husband will go through his employer to get himaelf insurance. Not adding us bc it's an HMO & we're just better off getting private. I spoke to one agent yest about the timeframe. He said the beginning of next month bc my separation of employment would be a qualifying event. FYI Cobra is like $1,100 for the both of us... Any suggestions? Lastly, since we are worried about no coverage I will work until the end of this month before separating. Thank you always in advance.
P.S. I never thought I'd be in this situation & I always did wonder what the FIRE Mustachians did regarding their healthcare.
