I qualified for COBRA and they wanted me to pay 360.00 a month. I am on unemployment and I cannot afford that. I am not sure what they think low cost health care is, but that is not it, I have been a cement finisher for 20 years and went back to school and got a BS in Criminal Justice, just in time for the probation/ parole department to start laying people off.
Now I have an AA in Business Admin. and a BS in CJ and no job prospects. THe public sector is dead. I have 30,000 in student loans and I am still on EDD.
I will be returning to school for my Paralegal degree next month.
I am 40, female and have not had a physical in 3 yaers. I have not had insurance for almost 2 of those three years. I applied for Medi-CAL and they want me to pay the firrst 1580.00 before they will pay a dime. how does any of this help?
California is going to he#$ in a hand basket and I am ready to get out. Nothing seems to work.
THanks for leting me vent. Hopefully the career I have chosen will get me out of the hole I am in.
