Switching from cobra to private insurance
My sister-in-law will be losing her cobra health insurance on 2/28/09(she had it for 18 months) and is currently looking at private insurance rates. Under Cobra, she had family coverage but is currently separated from her husband (not legally separated). Can she purchase a private policy for herself (individual policy) since she cannot afford family coverage or does she have to obtain family coverage since Cobra was for family. She does not want to cover her husband since he walked out on her.
