Health insurance gap after a layoff - any advice?

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a bank teller. It has been weighing on me all week. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. How fast did coverage start?

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

A free navigator at a community health centre walked me through my options. It took an hour and saved me a lot of guessing.
