Lost health insurance?
My wife lost her job and she carried the insurance. I work for myself so no benefits. Is it better to assume COBBRA while she is job searching or to take a short term health insurance from some one like United HealthCare? We have 2 children 1 and 4 years. Any advise?

The cost of COBRA is no more than 2% of the actual group rate your wife's employer was paying on her behalf. If your family has pre-existing conditions that are somewhat serious or costly to care for, COBRA is the way to go. Short-term coverage will exclude all pre-existing conditions.
An important reminder...you have 63 days from the date the group coverage ended to opt for COBRA. If you obtain any other coverage in that time, including short-term coverage, you lose the right to be covered on your wife's COBRA plan.
If your family is healthy, short term coverage is an excellent idea, and I would check out your local Blue Cross company for comparison sake.
Another idea is to purchase an individual/family plan now. If and when your wife has new insurance, simply take her off your personal family plan. Chances are that your monthly cost to insure you and the children will be less on the personal plan than the cost of being on your wife's new group plan.
Lastly, if you purchase an individual/family plan, strongly consider an HSA, (Health Savings Account,) qualified high-deductible plan...and again, consider Blue Cross.

the absaloute best thing not to do is to take the cobra....the reason is, as you probably see...it's about 3 times the amount she was contributing. short term policies don't cover to much, you could create a small group, it only takes two people, and your family would not be dependent on group insurnace through a job.

Do some comparison shopping. Look not only at price, but also coverage. It's difficult to say whether you're better off with a short term policy unless you compare coverage as well as cost. Factor in the problem of any pre-existing health conditions you or your family might have. If there are significant pre-existing problems, ask your wife to exercise her COBRA rights. There are relatively inexpensive short term policies, but they may not cover that much. There's no free lunch when it comes to health insurance.

If you don't have time to comparison shop, ask your wife to exercise her COBRA rights now. You're covered by COBRA for 18 months. If you have time later to do a little research (potential resources are discussed on the webpage listed below) and find a cheaper policy with acceptable coverage, you can always cancel the COBRA coverage. But if your wife doesn't exercise her COBRA rights within 63 days, she loses them.

Just from personal experience.. COBRA is VERY EXPENSIVE!!! I ended up going with and independent ins. co. And it is so much cheaper and actually covers more that COBRA does! If you have a option- don't waste hardworking money on COBRA!
