None of what you just said is an accurate story of what actually went down. How the hell am I supposed to respond to your fictional story?Obamacare has changed the rules, but they don't tell you that when you buy it.
When I was on COBRA, there was a grace period of 30 days to pay your premium. Quite often I was late, because the insurance would still cover me during the grace period.
Now I know that under Obamacare, there is still a 30 day grace period, but any medical expenses you incur are NOT covered during the grace period.
I went to a doctor three days after the grace period started, and now I have to pay for my doctor's visit and blood test.
And obviously, it is totally ridiculous to charge me $1500 for a blood test.
Obama is the biggest dick of all time.
COBRA is to continue coverage you already have. You went and bought something new in the open market and apparently didn't bother activating the plan before trying to use it (did you even have an insurance card from the company at that point?).
Why on earth would you think this insurer would just start paying your medical bills for you before you paid a dime in premiums?
