Hi, I belong to a group policy (small business) My boss and I are the only ones on the policy. I pay the entire cost of my part of the policy (411.00 a month). If I leave this employment is there any way I can continue on the policy in my own name and still pay that amount, since I pay the full premimum anyway? I have some medical problems now. I am 59 years old. Is the insurance company allowed to just cancel me and then, becasue of my health problems I wouldn't be able to get insurance again? Or, would I be able to get an individual policy with vascular and possible coronary artery disease at my age?
