I lost my job about ten months ago and I could not afford Cobra and I thought I could just get another job and get coverage thru it...I did get a job, working on a commission and a lot of travel and expenses involved and I did not meet the threshhold in total earnings for the first 3 months to qualify for health coverages and I decided I was going to try and find another job where coverage might be a little easier to get but then I had another problem with my health and I was more or less immobilized for about the last 5 weeks (excepting the last couple of days) so I was putting in resumes trying to get a customer service job or whatever and last week I made an appt to start training this past Monday. Unfortunately, I was unable to walk or drive so I had to call in and tell them that I could not make it because I had a knee "problem" and I could not drive or walk...So there went that job....still no coverage...So I am attempting to see if I can get some help from the Veterans Administration. I have never asked them for anything.
