Simcha,
My family and I are in a similar situation because our COBRA coverage is going away this month. In looking around for new insurance (individual family) my husband was upfront re: my mental illness. We were told that while we will be able to get coverage (probably higher cost though), most ins. companies will investigate your illness (back and forth with pdoc) ad nauseum, so leave yourself MONTHS to find new coverage. I guess we were naive to think it could be accomplished in a matter of weeks. Geez - it's not like getting a *mortgage* or anything! (the mortgage took two days!) Incredible.Marie
p.s. Hope you can discern the intended sarcasm here.
