Be sure to double-check on whether you can get California's extended COBRA if you were working for a large company.

I was lazy about getting my company's own insurance and contacted my former employer (Activision Blizzard) about how to get Cal-COBRA coverage.

Turns out I wasn't eligible, since their health plan is self-insured. Whoops, I didn't know that — who would?

I managed to line up coverage to avoid a gap, but I imagine a lot of people are caught by surprise by this exclusion. Details here:
