Losing employer insurance, where should I look? - 13 months and counting

My family's coverage ended with the layoff and we have a prescription we cannot skip. I am in Albuquerque, in case local advice matters. I do not want a gap in coverage. Is there help filling out the forms?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

A free navigator at a community health centre walked me through my options. It took an hour and saved me a lot of guessing.
