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

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a delivery driver. I am in Buffalo, in case local advice matters. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. What did you choose and how was the process?

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

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