Wonderful news, coffe_black!
I'm convinced that food should be looked at as the best, most primary of all medicines.

How awful for his wife and family.
Btw, in english, the correct word would be "killed" or "murdered" as opposed to "assasinated".

by PaintedToeNail inmy spouse and i had supper with some long time friends this evening.
we got onto the subject of baptisim, and out of the four of us, we all got baptized for some other reason than love of jehovah.

Don't feel too bad. Afterall, "loving God" is not associated with baptism in the Bible, is it?

It's the Texas Health Insurance High Risk Pool that there is no waiting on - But considerably more costly than the Pre-existing option above.

Viola, you can get into pre-existing condition insurance immediately (ooops.. on edit I see that you do have to be w/o insurance for six months before the following is available). There have been a few changes during the past year: (you don't actually have to show that you have been turned down, you just have to have a pre-existing condition) (price was greatly reduced).
It's not cheap, but I'm pretty sure it's considerably less than Cobra. Here is a for-instance (off of Healthcare.gov) :
Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan: Texas
Eligible residents of Texas can apply for coverage through the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
To qualify for coverage:
- You must be a United States citizen or reside here legally.
- You must be without health coverage for at least the last six months before you apply.
- You must have a pre-existing condition or have been denied coverage because of your health condition.
PCIP covers a broad range of health benefits, including primary and specialty care, hospital care, and prescription drugs. All covered benefits are available for you, even if it’s to treat a preexisting condition.
The monthly premiums for your state are:
Age Standard Option Extended Option HSA Option 0 to 18 $133 $179 $138 19 to 34 $199 $268 $207 35 to 44 $239 $323 $248 45 to 54 $306 $412 $318 55+ $426 $572 $442 View a Summary of Benefits for the Standard, Extended, and HSA plans. (PDF – 810 KB)
In addition to your monthly premium, you will pay other costs. In 2012, you will pay a $1,000 to $3,000 deductible, which varies by your plan option, for covered medical benefits (except for preventive services) before the plan starts to pay. A plan option may have a separate drug deductible. After you pay the deductible, you will pay a $25 copayment for doctor visits, $4 to $40 for most prescription drugs, and 20% of the costs of any other covered benefits you get. Your combined out-of-pocket costs for in-network and out-of-network covered services cannot be more than $7,000 per year. The maximum is even less if you use only in-network providers.

Hubby won't qualify for any kind of state insurance until he is without insurance for 6 months. The state high risk pool are as high or more than cobra .They state on the site they are not low cost.
I have it wrong that you are in Texas then?

Many forget that corporations also provide huge sums for programs to help people afford care for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc. You just have to get pro-active to take advantage of what is available.
Many also forget that the Government tax break (which is a type of subsidy) to corporations who provide health insurance/care is over 230 billion per year.
