Thanks for thinking of me, sorry I neglected this again. I've been dealing with stuff with my 83 year old mother since this started. She can't drive or anything, can hardly get around, I do everything, nobody else to do it. Kidneys are starting to not work the best, but they still work, and they found "something" elsewhere that requires a biopsy (and no openings until the 30th). Basically, just running around to a number of various appointments lately, 30 to 75 miles away, not getting much done besides that and chores.
Anyway, I was thinking about a scenario. All the short term plans limit pre-existing, at least for an amount of time. Since I don't know if the cysts in my hand are going to grow/are growing, I don't know if I may need to have them done. I could wait a while, but if it would severely limit use, or press a nerve or something, I'd be kind of stuck. And while thinking about it, I read this (just an example, read more too). Short-Term Health Insurance Isn't as Cheap as You Think I did see a number of reasonably priced short term plans from a number of companies, some for 3 years, but looking around, several people did have issues. I know that wouldn't always be the case, and no doubt some are good.
I know it might work out, but for now, I just signed up for about $600 Medica plan. Deductible is stupid, but "stuff" is covered "today" (well, after the 1st on the new plan) if something goes on, and I can look into it later on when other things aren't going on, maybe next year do something. I possibly could have done something else and gotten along. But, it's not ~that much more than what I've been doing, other than the stupid deductible. Could have done a little better paying more, but I'm hopeful not much will go on next year (crossing fingers). I can get $ if I need to, I'll just miss the old plan.... Probably stupid to do that, but it's done for now.
Thanks.
