X-Message-Number: 21459 Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 07:17:02 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #21452 - #21458 For Brian Stewart again: About health insurance once unemployed: the first thing I would do is to go to my insuror and ask if they have continuation plans for your existing health insurance. The second thing I would do is to go to the government of the state where I am a resident and ask if they have any special health insurance for those unemployed or disabled. It WILL cost MONEY, regardless, but when such state health insurance programs exist, they are often better than any continuation plan offered by your health insuror. If you have not lost your job because you were disabled, then eventually you will get another job. Once you do, you can also look around for health insurance plans which have special provisos for those who are unemployed, and choose them so long as you have a choice. The guys such as Randy who are specialists in life insurance for cryonicists may also be able to help, though I don't know how well they know about health insurance. They're certainly worth contacting, though (usually their email address is in their messages). Best wishes and long long life, Thomas Donaldson PS: I am hardly an expert either, but I am instead looking at myu own experience with health insurance, when I first became disabled with a brain tumor well over 10 years ago.
