When I've had the option in the past of using COBRA, it's always been so astronomically expensive that I've passed, and instead taken out a policy elsewhere. My guess has always been that COBRA is probably something that's required by law f

Is it a high-deductible plan? Also, I've dealt with BCBS in the past and could never get anyone on the phone if I had an issue.

A quick googling shows a large number of websites devoted to dad's rights, helping fathers get joint custody and/or visitation, defense against false accusations of abuse by vindictive exes, "throwaway dads", etc. There are no such sites fo
