Question:
Has anyone ever gotten COBRA in California and then moved to another state?

I will be getting COBRA and then moving to another state, but the current insurance I have isn't really offered in the new state (Pacific Care). CALPERS says that I can switch to a local insurance if offered by my job, that only allows me to choose from PERSCARE or PERSCHOICE, both PPOs otherwise known as blue cross. Blue cross has stopped paying for WLS I'm trying to keep from being classified as having a pre-existing condition in case of complications. Even though people say that they can't discriminate, I've been denied for an individual policy in the past even though I currently have insurance does anyone know why?    — [Anonymous] (posted on October 20, 2001)
