Health insurance gap after a layoff after 4 years as an HR coordinator

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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