I'm in a similar boat, about to stop working and start paying for my own medical until I can get Medicare.
With the limited knowledge I think I've got, I believe 1) that pre-existing conditions are no issue provided you have had continuous coverage with no gaps and 2) you must use COBRA until it expires (18 months) before any other company will cover you.
Has anyone heard the same thing?
