We are not COBRA. For specific contract details about your current company policy, contact your health plan administrator.

I doubt they can reject your husband from your health insurance, unless each applicant is underwritten. It defeats the purpose of group insurance.

: Hi. I was laid off last May (2009) and my husband and I are getting our health insurance through Cobra. He was diagnosed with cancer today. I know my 18 months is getting close. I have been offered a job at a company that DOES offer health insurance. Since I am still on Cobra, if I take this job with Health insurance, can they reject him or us because of his recent diagnosis?? Or will they have a different rate for us? Thanks for any help.
: Cindy
