No...Cobra covers you after you lose your job...not while you are waiting. For most people. Cobra has long since ran out before they even get a job.

The past two jobs I've had both had waiting periods where I had to provide my own coverage between.

He's asking a question based on his experience, not demanding. > If all he did was ask about when they kick in it would have been a non-issue, but when he asked what he was supposed to do in the meantime, that demonstrates the hypocrisy of his position on the health care legislation. Obamacare isn't supposed to cover the people waiting for new coverage to kick in, Cobra does that. It's supposed to cover the people that don't have. Still, I see no hypocrisy, just a new employee get details about his new benefits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:331772 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
