I had a 40 day insurance lapse when I started my new job and it was $350 for a vial for me :( luckily I only needed to buy one, and it was enough to last me until the end of the period.
For a full year and a half before that, I had to go to the pharmacy every 20 days to pick up more insulin because my insurance didn't want to risk paying for medicine that I could still use after leaving my job / insurance.
- adwww 6y ago> 40 day insurance lapse How does that sort of thing affect you? I can't imagine the pressure of knowing you 'can't' get ill for a period of time! Do you stop biking to work, avoid DIY projects, skip the 5-a-side sessions that month...?!
- grep_name 6y agoI was very upset about not being warned during the interview process and even had a conversation with HR about it > Do you stop biking to work, avoid DIY projects, skip the 5-a-side sessions that month On the contrary, at the time I had to drive a two hour round trip daily on 285* where I was often graphically reminded of the dangers of traffic. I mentioned this point specifically when talking to HR, but ultimately I didn't really have any recourse *(edited to remove reference to spaghetti junction, didn't realize there were multiple spaghetti junctions out there)
