Losing employer insurance, where should I look? - 22 weeks in

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as an office manager. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. How fast did coverage start?

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