I thought of something else to add to this. I started working at USDA February 11, 1956. In April, I enrolled in Blue Cross. I paid $7 cash (no check) on the first of every month to a rep in the office and on February 1st (ten months) I would be eligible for childbirth attention. Voila! There you were, 16 days past the deadline.

Aunt Ginnie: in this day and age the insurance company would have said you had a "pre-existing condition" and therefore not eligible for coverage! You lucked out. My mom saved a couple of similar bills---fun to look at and remember "the good old days".

My bills for Samuel and Luke were just a bit more than that. Samuel was in the NICU for 7 days so you can imagine that bill. Luke was just a regular birth but still cost upwards of $6000.00. Thank goodness for insurance!
