My 'work' health insurance Cobra ends this month

My Brain Hurts.

I've spent several days, weeks, months worrying about and studying about Health Insurance.  Any attempt to watch the news makes me break out in a cold sweat hearing about Health Care.  Will Trump repeal and replace?  What coverage is right for me?  How much will it cost?

Back in October i called some Insurance Company's and the guy on the phone told me, "call back later. we are busy now with Medicare."  This time, this month when i called, the lady on the phone told me, "You missed enrollment, it's closed.  You will have to wait till next November to register."

Last week when i drove home to the boat from Arkansas i CALLED the Healthcare.Gov help line.  A nice lady worked with me and we slowly went through a very laborious process of her reading questions and then lengthy disclaimers she "had to read" on each one.  About the time we were almost through with the registration process - my phone lost signal.  I quick called back and got a different lady.  "No she cant talk to you.  We can start over again"  I got mad and hung up.

Today i spent several hours on the computer at Healthcare.Gov slowly working through the forms.  I think i have new healthcare.  They will probably email questions about how i screwed up.
