Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? - 4 weeks in

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a home health aide. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I do not want a gap in coverage. Is there help filling out the forms?

A free navigator at a community health centre walked me through my options. It took an hour and saved me a lot of guessing.

Losing job-based coverage usually opens a special enrolment window, so check the deadline on the official marketplace site. I missed it by a day once and regretted it.
