I didn&#8217;t pay August and I assumed by now that I had long since been cancelled. I figured I would reapply in February when the mandatory 6 month waiting period to reapply would expire.<\/p>\n<p>But then I get this. And of course I don&#8217;t have $711 &#8211; especially not after spending nearly $800 Friday &#8211; but it&#8217;s still like a tease. <I>You can have insurance right now again with no interruption!<\/i> Yeah, as if. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixfiredesigns.com\/stuff\/emoticons\/ohwell.gif\"> Not to mention, I&#8217;ve already met my deductible for this year too and it&#8217;d be nice to take advantage of that.<\/p>\n<p>I actually really liked having insurance and I miss it. It&#8217;s scary being back without it again. So I feel taunted by it being close&#8230;and yet totally and completely out of reach yet again.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, just kinda one of those frustrating things where you think you&#8217;re doing pretty darn good, then you realize how easily things get all screwed up again because of money.
