I have that procedure in the forefront of my mind as I'm going in for the screening in a couple weeks. No idea it "cost" that much as I too am covered by good medical plan. In our case we were offered the choice between cobra or a similar but slightly different coverage plan just for retiree's from my agency, the retiree plan being slightly cheaper once we have to pickup the entire cost.

Question, do you really have to work 3 more months just for this once Medical procedure? What would it cost you to maintain Cobra coverage for a year or 18 months before you switch to the high deductible policy. Might be worth it...
