Do we get health insurance starting from day one?

I have not had insurance since Feb '07, that will be a nice change.
Yikes. Get some short term insurance in the meantime, trust me on this one. It is high deductible, so it isn't really made for routine stuff, but should you get injured or end up in the hospital for some reason, it'll pick up a majority of the bill there. It is relatively cheap, last time I had to buy some it was about $70-80 a month.
I was off health insurance for a three day weekend once while my mom was in between jobs.
I broke three bones that weekend and had a concussion.
Learned my lesson.
That's a real horror story and lesson for everyone else. (time for national healthcare anyone!?)

That will solve our problems, just ask the Canadians waiting in lines for health care or the others crossing the border for care down here.
You might want to start at http://www.opm.gov/insure/, and drill down to 2008 FEHB Premiums.A while ago there was a link to what the insurance would cost (premiums and co-pays) but I can't seem to find that now. Does anyone else know where it is?
