Hello,
My wife is leaving her job with the airlines. I amself employed and our insurance agent suggested I set up a group plan instead of COBRA to cover my family (3 children, wife, myself). The issue is my 11 year old son was diaganosed with Autism 6 years ago. The agent said this could increase the monthy insurance payment by almost 70%. I said okay and she mailed off the application for Unicare. Well Sunday, my son had a seizure, the ER Dr. said it may be due to chlorine aspirating into his lungs. He has never had a seizure before. Well today the Unicare application arrived and I'm paralyzed on what to do next. Start the group plan, stick with COBRA for 18 month, what's the best option for my son?
I am very confused and any advice, comments or suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Mike
