Losing employer insurance, where should I look?

My family's coverage ended with the layoff and we have a prescription we cannot skip. It has been a long 12 weeks. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. What did you choose and how was the process?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Call your pharmacy too. Mine knew of a discount card that helped while coverage was being sorted out.
