If you’re in the NY area, I found Oscar had decent options that were not on the exchange.

Never. Predictable response btw.

People need insurance. Oscar is good and super affordable. It's been growing since way before the clown got elected. It's still good today. And it will still be good on January 20 when the clown is gone. The clown is simply not as important as many of you think to people's real everyday lives.

Also, it should be noted that there’s a grace period for signing up for Cobra. I think in California, when I got laid off, it was 60 days. What that means is you can go without insurance for 60 days and if something happens to you and you need medical attention, you can retroactively pay for cobra and you’ll be covered. But in those two months, you can be looking for a new job that will cover you or find an alternative insurance option.

Really sorry to hear this. You can compare to other marketplace options, but you may find the cobra price to be almost the same with much better coverage (that was my experience).

You can find an insurance person who can advise you, they freelance for this purpose. In my experience, the ACA options are more affordable but might be worse coverage so if you have a health issue you might keep the cobra. You can also do cobra for the rest of the year and sign up for new ACA options in November but lord knows what is going to happen with the ACA after 11/10 when it’s goes to the Supreme Court.
