Health insurance gap after a layoff - what worked for you?

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a social media manager. I am in Milwaukee, in case local advice matters. I think my income this year might qualify for a subsidy. Is there help filling out the forms?

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.

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