Hi,

Is anyone currently on COBRA or has been on COBRA b/c they are either on disability or had to leave their jobs due to PN?

If you are/were on COBRA what happens after COBRA ends? Do you just pick a health insurance plan on the open marketplace? The plans on there don't seem to cover any out-of-network doctors which appears to be a real problem.

Does anyone know if there is a way to extend COBRA or get any other type of medical insurance specific to being disabled?

I'm young so I would not be eligible for Medicare or anything like that.

Any advice would be great!

Thanks,

Buttercup

I know people who were too young for medicare who went on disability and got health insurance -- probably medicaid. https://www.healthcare.gov/people-with- ... e-options/

If you don't qualify for disability and medicaid then you probably have to get something through the marketplace when cobra ends. You might be eligible for an extension of cobra. https://www.dol.gov/sites/default/files ... umer_0.pdf
