>>Your coverage doesn't lapse as long as you pay your premiums. Your employer or lack of same is irrelevant. That's what portability means. If you absolutely can't pay your bills for an extended period, you go on the dole.<< Karen - What dole are you speaking of? Is there some kind of welfare available in this country that would allow me to continue to pay (in my case) a bit over four hundred dollars per month for health insurance? I can tell you that when I was diagnosed with cancer, and realized that over a period of at least six months I was not going to be to debilitated to work, I checked into getting disability benefits. To qualify for disability payments from the federal government because you have to be disabled for 18 months. I didn't qualify for state disability because I was not employed in the State of California when I became "disabled". I really don't know how I would have continued to pay my premiums while I was undergoing treatment if I hadn't had some liquid assets. - Allen
