I found that the Assurant plan was a little cheaper than through my broker. It is not comparable to Cobra in cost or coverage. These plans basically protect you against catastrophic (expensive) procedures. They don't include basic check-ups, vision, or dental. A typical plan will have a $1,000 deductable. After the deductable, the plan will start picking up costs. Bottom line, this is not a very appealing aspect of CAL. The good news is that if you already have coverage from a former employer you will only be without full coverage for 5 months. Once you are eligable for CAL's insurance, it's relatively inexpensive and has several good options.
If you have children, let your Doctor know you will be without insurance for a few months and see if they can give you a discount in the inerim. Be sure to have all their check-ups, etc., performed before you go off your current policy.
You may also be eligible for Medicaid. Check your state's policies.
