Health insurance gap after a layoff - 6 months and counting

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. I do not want a gap in coverage. Is there help filling out the forms?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier 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.
