[pct-l] health care/ travel insurance

[cmkudija at earthlink.net (cmkudija@earthlink.net)]

We took advantage of my COBRA insurance during my leave of absence from my
job in '94.  The premiums were naturally higher - and are probably even
higher today.  However - an x-ray in Mammoth for a knee injury, plus
physician care, plus an appointment in Chelan for tendonitis - it was nice
to know I was covered (even though the direct costs for those services was
probably less than the premiums I paid).  You never know what's going to
happen and what kind of medical attention you'll need.  Having been in a
massive car accident (in 1978) that was totally the other person's fault,
and needing hospitalization afterwards, plus rehab, while I was insured
under my stepfather's policy, I know the value of medical insurance for me.
YMMV, etc....

as people typically quit their jobs in order to attempt a long thru hike
thereby leaving themselves without health insurance, i'm looking for advice
on health care options, cobra / travel insurance etc.

all suggestions appreciated.
