Health Care coverage

In the State of California, if you leave your job and were covered by a health plan, and you obtain new employment, it is required by State Law that your health coverage goes into effect immediately. You do NOT have to wait 3 months. It's called HIPA.

I was bamboozled by Enterprise on this; had to wait 3 months for the United Healthcare to become available so I think that all California Employees should write the State Insurance Commissioner and inform him that E is not following this state mandated law.

I think you should do some research and start with the word imbecile.

You got screwed on "Creditable Coverage", and its HIPPA. Nothing you can do though, you have to inform your new insurance of creditable coverage.
