Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? - 2 months and counting

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a hotel front-desk agent. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. What did you choose and how was the process?

Call your pharmacy too. Mine knew of a discount card that helped while coverage was being sorted out.
