My family is currently on Cal Cobra. I have a preexisting condition and cannot get a private policy on my own. Because of the skyrocketing price of health care, we are forced to pay over $1,800 a month for a family plan with HealthNet. We have no other choice. This is a ridiculous and unsustainable amount of money to have to pay. Obama’s preexisting exclusion does not take place until 2014. What am I supposed to do until then? Everyone in California, or for that matter in the United States, should be able to get affordable health care coverage.

I’m in the same situation, except my COBRA runs out before 2014. Our family is scrambling.
