Losing employer insurance, where should I look? - first time posting

I have 17 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. There are 17 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. How fast did coverage start?

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

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.
