Need something cheaper than COBRA insurance for daughter (just turned 25) who has a congenital heart defect.?

HELP! She graduated from college and is in the process of looking for a job. The company she will work for in the future may or may not offer group health insurance. We live in Texas. She must stay covered, as she might need a heart transplant someday. According to HIPPA, we have 63 days to either enroll in COBRA or find our own insurance so as to not lose exclusion to the pre-existing condition clause. HELP!

May I suggest to you Ameri Plan. They do not have any restrictions on ongoing conditions and you can start saving immediately. There is a hospital advocacy program that assigns you a personal advocate to negotiate with doctors on your medical bills.

The plan also includes savings on dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic care. I'd check them out. I'm so proud to be with them. I know I shouldn't advertise, but your need sounds great. Let me know if you have any questions. wlakin@ameriplan.net

We are currently running a promotion for just the dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic plan where you can try it out for 3 months for $23 total. This is a great service. You should check it out!

Ouch. Is there any way you can get her on your insurance?

Seriously, no insurance company is going to take someone with a pre-existing condition without very high premiums. I would try an internet search of the major insurance companies and call around for quotes. Their prices may be a little better than COBRA.
