Health coverage after losing my job: marketplace or Medicaid? - what worked for you?

I have 17 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. There are 17 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. Is there help filling out the forms?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Compare the monthly price with the deductible. A cheap plan with a huge deductible can cost more if you need care.
