Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? - any advice?

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a school bus driver. I have been trying to stay organised about it. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. What did you choose and how was the process?

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

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