Ok.
I’m eligible for COBRA coverage.
For ($678.41-$529.73) $148.68 less than the Health Connector price, I get medical, dental, and eye coverage.
Apparently “every penny counts” (despite pennies not being made/used anymore)
So COBRA it is.
Like I actually have the $500+

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

I’m 55 - unemployable
I’m a woman - unemployable
I have only 2 months of savings at best.
I’m going to loose my health insurance (needed for Rheumatoid Arthritis)
.

Depression doesn’t cover what I feel.
I think “despair” fits better.

Just checked out health plans for next year.
Going from an already high $300+ to 6/700+
I have enough savings to cover 2 months of rent and a month 1/2 of groceries.
I just had to explain being let go for low/no enrollments as part of an unemployment claim, which I might not get (1/2)

Huh. Was looking at wrong schedule
Tomorrow’s I’m 12 to 6.
It’s next Thursday that I’m scheduled for 9-7:30.
10-8pm on Sat the 22nd.
So next week I’m still _under_ 40 hrs.
Seems like I was demoted to part-time
