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

My family's coverage ended with the layoff and we have a prescription we cannot skip. This is my first time dealing with any of this. 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 saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
