    HummingBrd323 replied to HummingBrd323's topic in Travel

    Thanks, NedRN! I appreciate the response. I know how ridiculously expensive COBRA is, so probably not going to go that route. Temporary, emergency coverage is basically what I need but getting bombarded by calls from private insurance agents all d...
