Health insurance gap after a layoff - any advice?

My family's coverage ended with the layoff and we have a prescription we cannot skip. I am in Boise, in case local advice matters. I think my income this year might qualify for a subsidy. How fast did coverage start?

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.

Call your pharmacy too. Mine knew of a discount card that helped while coverage was being sorted out.
