In general, that's why I feel we need to move to an individual based policy system rather than an employer based one. Then a change in job status, doesn't affect your insurance coverage.

Your problem though, is the here and now of course. (Which isn't addressed in a timely manner for you in any of the current legislation, and you'll be eligible for Medicare by the time it is)

I think, allowing retirees over 60 to buy into Medicare until eligible is not a bad idea, though I don't know how workable it is. Also, if there was a nationwide pool of pre-existing condition (which I assume your meds are for) people (selling across state lines), I would expect some company would fill that need. Though certainly at a higher premium.

Alternately of course, you could've kept working till 65.
