Losing employer insurance, where should I look? (San Diego)

My family's coverage ended with the layoff and we have a prescription we cannot skip. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I think my income this year might qualify for a subsidy. How fast did coverage start?

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

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