Short-term Health Insurance

The President’s State of the Union Address will reportedly discuss the issue of healthcare in America. It will be interesting to see because it is an expense that most Americans are very concerned–even wealthier Americans. Once issues start affecting the upper-middle and upper classes in America changes can come much quicker than if healthcare was not a concern for the wealthy.
At my old job I was covered, as was my wife, by my company’s health insurance plan. I have switched jobs and the clock is ticking on the remained of days my wife and I will be covered. COBRA does not seem like an option so we are going to talk to ehealthinsurance.com. This site allows you to get quick quotes on all types of health coverage. I have used it in the past in similar situations and I was very pleased. My wife and I only need about a month’s coverage because my new job’s health insurance will kick in at the end of February. I think we can get a catostrophic plan for around $70 a month; and that is all we really need for this time because neither of us have any health conditions that will need coverage.

Last night I called their 800# to sign up for one month of coverage.  It was the easiest experience I have had with customer service at any company.  I spoke to the rep maybe 3 minutes and he emailed a link immediately.  It took maybe another three minutes to fill up and email. I am covered as midnight tonight.  That is service.
