Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Had lunch with a friend who left work in January and went on COBRA to get to exchange plan in 2014. It seems it's open season now for the group plans and the new rates for the COBRA took a huge jump. I suggested looking into short term HI plan to bridge to the exchange plans in 2014. Looking at the info he gave me and looking on ehealthinsurance, he could get a short term plan for 3 months for 20% of what staying on COBRA would costs.
This seems like a no brainer to dump the COBRA... anyone else looked at something like this, does it make sense and is there something that is being overlooked.
