OK, my health insurance lapsed. I dropped the ball on this one. I'm in general good health and I need health insurance-I think its the responsible thing to do. Do I re-sign with my old health insurance company and wait the same time period for the insurance to start up again-its like 30-days, or is there another solution? I leave for my thru in almost 10-days. Thanks.

I am picking up short term insurance that can start up the next day.

I found a good insurance guy through my car insurance person. Just make sure that it you are able to use it in the states the AT goes through.

When you say your coverage lapsed, do you mean your were paying out of pocket and stopped paying the premiums, or you quit your job? If the former, can you pay the prmeium to reinstate it? If the latter, you have a COBRA option to continue coverage while you pay the premium.

Check out what Coralrives has ("Boat Drinks" now). I looked his short term policy over and it seemed pretty good.

Thanks for the responses, I went back to my old insurer-I'll see how it goes. Thanks again.
