That makes sense, and is a good point. For the first year of my present job I was somewhat nervous about not having access to FMLA. My year kicked over in April. I had a bad episode in Feb/Mar, and was somewhat afraid of going to the hospital because I didn't have that protection. It probably would have been fine as I had access to short-term disability, but that didn't really ease my mind of the possibility that I might have to take leave from my job.
