Looks like I will have to go the six-month route in February when my blue book expires to bring my residency in line with my health insurance...which doesn't run out until sometime in August.
The only other option was to drop health cover now until renewal, which obviously I didn't want to do. (Incidentally, our insurance renewal this month - for three of us - is just over half what we've paid for the previous two years. No idea how or why...same provider/benefits etc. That was a nice surprise!)
Of course, I'm saying this now. It could all have changed by the time February rolls around.....
