<prompt> Human: So Im switching jobs. I currently get insurance through my current job and truth be told, that is what has kept me there for so long. However, I just got offered a new job that actually utilizes my college degree and I quickly accepted it. I wont start for a few weeks, and will be working 4 days a week starting out. They obviously wont offer me health insurance until after 90 days. So how do I go about buying private insurance for the 3 months I will be without? I live in Michigan not sure if that is relevant. I attempted to do an online search and I got a little overwhelmed and extremely confused. I dont want to go without health insurance because my health isnt that great and my prescriptions every month are pretty expensive. Please help point me in the right direction!Edit:So I looked at COBRA and it would cost me about 650month. Im hesitant to go for it because I will only be making 13hr and I still will have my monthly student loans to pay and my monthly car payment. However, I dont want to go without and have some,medical problem come up and be screwed. I guess I dont have many options though...  <response>: Find out what your current insurance cost is, add 2 COBRA admin fee and that would be your premium to keep your current insurance until you have your enrollment period for your qualifying event at your new job. Since its a short period between leaving your old job and getting insurance through your new job, COBRA is your best bet as it guarantees you keep your current health plan, dr, etc.
