So due to less than 75% enrollment and a boss who can't afford to insure the guys I'm about to have no health coverage. Cobra isn't affordable we can't meet company 75% enrollment so Mexico over the border here we come! Aaahaaaaw the american way!

If your looking for cheaper coverage, you're probably not going to find anything that covers pre-existing conditions OR is cheaper. You didn't say what profession or association you belong to that may offer you this AND you didn't say what state you live in. Your best bet is to contact an independent agent who specializes in health coverage and gathering information from her. If your state does have a catastrophic health care program, it's probably not cheaper or as comprehensive as your old employers coverage. Contact a local agent and good luck with your coverage.

I was recently let go of my job and now on COBRA. My wife had cancer 3-4 years ago. No insurer will take me now, so I have to take COBRA. Are their associations I can join to get group health?
