Crackpotpress contributor Dave, a freelance writer and Type 1 diabetic whose health care has been covered by COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985) for the past year, just learned that the carrier has cancelled his policy:
Here's the deal, I've been working freelance for the last year and been paying Cobra.
Well, the jackasses at the COBRA SERVE NATION (sic) (from Florida) upped mypolicy by $15 and changed my due date UP two weeks. I received nonotification of this.
When they got the regular payment I hadbeen electronically transferring every month, they said "Whoa! You'relate! You're short! You're CANCELLED! Effective immediately." I'm notquoting but that was the feel.
