Getting COBRA Complete? Don't use automatic payments, they're b0rken

You might hazily remember some months back my COBRA provider messed up an automatic payment and bizarrely handled it by cutting off my coverage and encouraging me to set up automatic payments to avoid future payment mishaps. They did it again (except maybe this time I maybe found out in time if maybe the physical check I wrote by hand like a caveman reaches them maybe soon enough I hope).

I am pretty glad I rejoined Covered California this year.

That incompetent company is COBRA Complete. If you're quitting/getting laid off and find out they're your COBRA provider, I recommend against using their automatic payment system.
