Health insurance gap after a layoff (Austin)

I have 14 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. I do not usually post, so bear with me. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. How fast did coverage start?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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