Keeping on with the insurance theme -
When I found out that I had pre-cervical cancer a month before I graduated from college, I freaked out. My parent's were scrambling to figure out how I was going to be covered. Many said I wouldn't be able to find insurance with a pre-existing condition and then my dad found out I could.
But to make a story short, my father looked into one of those Cobra plans for me (a 24 year old female). It would cost me...
$405 a MONTH!
I pay $505 in rent - how could I afford to lose almost a thousand dollars a month to just rent and insurance?!
I just think it's the biggest rip off...and very much prejudice!
