Losing employer insurance, where should I look? - any advice?

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as an operations analyst. I think my income this year might qualify for a subsidy. 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.

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