I was just told today that if I am out of work for more than 30 days for the removal of a brain tumor that my company's insurance provider will drop my coverage. This does not sound right to me as I have paid for this so called insurance for the 2 years I have been employed and I am only going to be out of work because I was recently diagnosed with this tumor.

If you live in the US. I would contact L&I. We have protection as an employee! We have rights. It's called FMLA! Family Medical Leave Act! Based on the rules you have 12 weeks (not getting paid) to take for your health care. And upon return to your job they are liable to give you your job back or one that is equivalent to the one you had before your leave! You can also check on line through Google.com! Just put in FMLA in the search bar!
