I doubt it because there was no plan to continue. Cobra is meant to be seemless. What was the span of time from the old carrier to
the new?

Major medical insurance may be cheaper on your own if you have no or minor pre existing conditions.

: I had Cobra through July 31 and only lost it because my ex employer didn't pay the company premiums for August, so the insurance company cancelled everyone's coverage including regular employees. I lost my job last December and I would have been able to keep the Cobra until July, 2004. Now the company has changed to another insurer. Am I legally allowed to renew my Cobra with them even though I've been uninsured since August 1? If so, do I get another 3 months eligibility to make up for the current 3 months i've been without insurance?
