Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? - 8 weeks in

My family's coverage ended with the layoff and we have a prescription we cannot skip. I worked as a payroll clerk before this. I do not want a gap in coverage. How fast did coverage start?

Compare the monthly price with the deductible. A cheap plan with a huge deductible can cost more if you need care.

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