Health insurance gap after a layoff (update)

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a store manager. There are 17 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?

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