Health insurance gap after a layoff (update)

I have 7 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. Is there help filling out the forms?

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

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.
