Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? after 13 years as a bookkeeper

I have 13 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. This is my first time dealing with any of this. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. How fast did coverage start?

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.
