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

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as a security officer. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. 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 last year, 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.
