Thumbs down

I called around today but everything is kinda expensive for us. I am currently the only one working, so we have a very limited income. My DH has issues with holding a job and mine is only part time. My job doesnt offer insurance because its a privetly owned business. Im really stressing out but I dont know what else I can do.

Did one of you have insurance through an employer? If so, I echo what Kat said. Call the (former?) employer and ask about COBRA. It may be very expensive, but will make it easier for you to get covered by individual insurance.

You list your location as Minnesota. Here are some things to research.

MCHA - Minnesota’s “high risk pool” for health insurance - http://www.mchamn.com/

Minnesota Care - for Minnesota residents who do not have access to affordable health insurance - http://www.dhs.state.mn.us/main/idcp...Name=id_006255

You may also want to check into jobs that do offer health insurance. Everyone always mentions Starbucks provides great insurance.

Thanks Girls...

We are paying a very affordable premium every month through our state. I will just be happy to have health care again the beginning of May.

We are going to start TTC again and hopefully get lucky this time!

Thanks again
Rach
