Thanks for the update. It seems like you're doing a good job of keeping current on all the issues that you need to. Yay for you!

You can find more information about the COBRA law at http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq_consumer_cobra.HTML This is a government site and won't try to sell you supplemental/alternative insurance like the the cobrainsurance.com site.
