Since COBRA has come up here may I ask a question? You all are so knowledgeable. I am in the process of going through a divorce and understand from my soon to be ex that I am eligible to have health insurance under COBRA for 3 years. Does this mean I stay in his companies health plan and just pick up the employer paid portion on my policy. That it will be the same policy I currently have as his spouse or does it just mean I get the same rate and need to go out and find a new policy. Currently I am covered by United Healthcare. Also since we have dental, vision and healthcare do you know if COBRA covers carrying all three or just basic healthcare? I am not getting these answers from spouse. I know I should probably call UHC but at the moment with frantic packing I don't have time to spend several days in a phone cue......
