    How does health insurance portability work?
    I lost my job in December and lost health insurance. In August I will be able to get health insurance through a program at a state college I will be attending. Is this too long of a lapse to cover pre-existing conditions? PA BTW.

    You didn't pay for the coverage under COBRA since then? Yes I know it would have been incredibly expensive.
