Cobra would allow us to continue our current medical coverage (minus dental) for $1,048.33 a month. We're guessing unemployment (if we get it, some think they don't give it to students) might be $900 a month. How optional is medical insurance?
The state does provide insurance for those with little to no income. Oftentimes, it wll at least cover children at a discounted rate. You should give them a call.
I had to pay about $850 a month for Cobra benefits for me and Wayne. We had to keep them though because of his cancer treatments. It was a bear! State benefits are always an option for the kids, but I can tell you that they are not as easy to deal with nor do you (usually) get as good of treatment. Of course that is here in Missouri.

Is there a student insurance option at UW? BYU had a pretty rockin' insurance option.
We'd have to wait for the start of the next quarter, but I don't think it's as family friendly as BYU's . . . go figure.

Thanks. We're investigating.
That's always the question but when you have a family to consider it becomes more of a necessity. Good luck. I hope you find what you need.
