Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? after 7 years as an accounts payable clerk

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as an accounts payable clerk. Any experience at all would help. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. What did you choose and how was the process?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
