Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? (Richmond)

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a payroll clerk. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I do not want a gap in coverage. How fast did coverage start?

Call your pharmacy too. Mine knew of a discount card that helped while coverage was being sorted out.

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