The COBRA info was a good refresher. I wasn't too familiar with it. So that is good to know I can keep medical benefits. Paying the whole premium will suck though in that case.

That would take too much effort. I'll stick with pee. ;D

Expect the premium for a family to be $1500 or more.  How much would that reduce your time-off window?

The premium will depend on where you live, the coverage level you have, deductibles, etc...

The most they can legally charge you for COBRA is 102% of the employer cost of coverage.  I do alot of work with COBRA/HIPAA coverages and I've seen COBRA rates range from $200 to $2000.  I would think that $1500 would be on the high-side.

One of the clients I deal with has over 30 different medical plans and the highest COBRA rate for any of them is $1052, which is family coverage with medical, dental, vision, and Rx.

ChadTower:

When I was on COBRA I was told that you have one option - continuation of existing coverage.  He has a wife and child on the plan.  I'm guessing he doesn't have the cheapjack PPO plan, either, given some of the medical challenges he has talked about in the recent past.

I was paying $1300/month 3-4 years ago.  I don't want to guess what it is now but it won't be close to that.
