Health insurance gap after a layoff - 10 months and counting

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a bookkeeper. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price.

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

Losing job-based coverage usually opens a special enrolment window, so check the deadline on the official marketplace site. I missed it by a day once and regretted it.
