A friend of mine, while on leave from work, accidentally forgot to pay his monthly premiums (or premia, as Megan McArdle would say) and had his workplace-based insurance cancelled. Apparently, there’s no way to reinstate it til January. Also the 60 day grace period for COBRA has already elapsed. Does anyone have any advice on getting short-term insurance? This is in New York State.
I’m sure Richard Mayhew will know something, but despite sharing a frontpage with him, I don’t know his email address.
