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 payroll clerk. Any experience at all would help. I think my income this year might qualify for a subsidy.

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
