Welp, trying to navigate the legalese to decide on health insurance. Found a plan that I think is pretty comparable to the one I got from the last agency (and am still on via COBRA). Maybe a little less coverage than I've had for a little less money. Dropping dental because THAT would be significantly more than what I've been paying for it (like, almost triple) and quite a lot more than it would cost just to get my teeth cleaned twice a year without insurance.
Think I've got everything right. A little nervous that maybe I've overlooked something but I should be on this plan for less than six months; once my wife gets a teaching job I'll get on her insurance instead.
And I have to send in my first check WITH the paperwork, which I can't afford to do just yet -- will have to wait until after my first paycheck clears. Still, should be a lot easier after that.
