Insurance coverage from previous job ended on Friday without COBRA. Insurance from new job starts retroactively on the following Monday. I have pre-existing health issues. How do we know if we need COBRA or not?

I just found out that in six months, I'm going to lose my student health insurance. There's no COBRA on student insurance, as far as I can tell. I have a pre-existing condition of a sort that will, I think, totally rule out getting private insurance. Assuming that I don't find a job with benefits, is there any way that I can stay insured? If this is a huge priority, which it is, then are there better or worse states for me to move to in order to maintain my insurance status? How on earth do I figure out how to negotiate this mess?

Dental-insurance-filter: I'm a grad student who has the option of paying for better insurance starting next fall. If I opt for full coverage, will my insurance refuse to pay for procedures already suggested on my chart?

U.S. insurance law: I've been told that, after having group coverage through an employer, if that coverage lapses for more than three months, the next insurer can declare anything previously covered to be a pre-existing condition (and so not covered.) Is this correct? Thanks.
