The only way you can figure this out is to compare prices — and consider the likelihood that a major illness will happen in the period before Medicare takes over. So first, when does your COBRA run out? If you can afford to keep it, it likely is better insurance than short-term policies will be. Also, it is taking a bit of time for those short-term policies to be extended to almost one year. So my advice is to wait until your COBRA runs out — and then check out short term policies at www.eHealthInsurance.com or www.agilehealthinsurance.com.
