COBRA insurance between jobs....

Hi everyone! I am curious if anyone out there has used COBRA to bridge their health insurance between jobs. I have been offered a great new job closer to my family and my husband and I are moving the 1st of next month. Both of us are young and had no health problems so had planned on getting major medical insurance only for the next 3 months until my new insurance kicks in.....BUT....

My husband just injured his back playing soccer and has a pars fracture :crying2:. he is going to need a CT and MRI and bracing and PT for the next 3-4 months. If that doesn't work he needs surgery.

We don't want to risk him getting denied coverage based on a pre-existing condition so we are thinking COBRA is the best option. Does anyone have any advice? How do we apply and how much should we expect to pay? The most important thing to us is that he is treated well for this injury and that the insurance is continual. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Look at a thread titled "cobra insurance seriously" (couple of pages back). in it people talk about not having to pay the entire premium due to something Obama passed. Good luck!
