Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? after 15 years as a home health aide

My family's coverage ended with the layoff and we have a prescription we cannot skip. Any experience at all would help. I think my income this year might qualify for a subsidy. What did you choose and how was the process?

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.

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