Re: COBRA Health Insurance Problems in California
You settled everything about your worker's comp case, including future medical? And now you need surgery from your work injury, or from something else?
I can't tell what you're arguing in relation to COBRA - are you telling us that your employer kept you on its insurance under COBRA until your benefits expired, has now dropped you, and now wants you to repay the premiums it paid over the period you were under COBRA?

No I wasnt on cobra benifits, my employer just paid my health insurance preiums, no that the cut me off they are wanting me to pay the preiums back and are refuseing to offer me cobra health benifits.
