    FWIW, I don't think I'd let go of private insurance and rely on the risk pools until I knew whether they will survive the election.

    IAE, don't you have to be uninsured for six months before you're even eligible? Granted that depending on what the pre-existing conditions are, it could easily be more economical to self-pay for six months than buy insurance on the private/conversion/COBRA market ($2000-3000/month). But it's still taking the risk that something catastrophic won't happen.


    kajero, hope you get something sorted out. Sounds awful.
