Hello all,
I'm a 25-year-old living with CML in Michigan. I'm currently a college student in my senior year, and I turn 26 on August 31. My father's insurance will be dropping me that day. I was unable to get a new policy because of my pre-existing condition, so I'm forced to start COBRA through my dad's insurance. The copays for medication and treatment are extremely affordable, but the premium for the policy is $600/month. This puts me in a bind, because my dad wants me to finish school, but I know he can't afford the payments.
I guess I'm looking for resources for COBRA assistance. Everything that I have found thus far pertains to co-payment assistance, and that really does nothing for me. If anyone has any information, it would be extremely appreciated.
Charlie
