OK.
I'm a 25 y/o male currently enrolled in an advertising portfolio school while I look for a job.
I'm about to reach the end of possible coverage under my parents' insurer (Aetna) thanks to grad school extensions, etc.
I called Aetna to ask about my options, and they said that I should enroll in a "COBRA Continuance Coverage Plan." As far as I can tell, this means I'll continue to have the same coverage I enjoy now just with a (much) larger COBRA co-pay.
My question is: should I shop around or just take what they're offering?
Personally, I think the coverage is "too good" for me, meaning I'm a healthy young guy with no prior health complications. However, I plan to have some minor orthopedic surgery done in the next few months, and I want to make sure I don't get fucked when that comes up.
Anyone else under a COBRA plan? Thoughts? Advice?
