Losing employer insurance, where should I look?

I have 18 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. This is my first time dealing with any of this. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. How fast did coverage start?

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

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.
