Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? after 7 years as a paralegal

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a paralegal. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not want a gap in coverage. 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.
