You have a retroactive cobra option for 60 days

I left my last job and I am in my uninsured/cobra time period. If there isn't an insurance need in the 60 days after my insurance stopped (end of May), I just won't pay insurance. If I need it, I'll pay the Cobra retroactively.

I am planning on starting on my new insurance plan on August 1.

Yes, you'll have to pay 2 months of ridiculous COBRA rates.

COBRA rates are the same as the regular rates

So be sure to factor that in to your negotiation strategy

I think you have 30 days to choose to go on COBRA
