I am between jobs (in NYC) and need health insurance. Anyone that is or was in the same situation, could you please share your choices? I am overwhelmed by the options (and prices!) Many thanks!

I’m in Midwest but here are the ones I evaluated. Went with liberty health share. Medical only. Supports family of 6 for ~$550/mo. Hope this helps.

- Total health
- Liberty healthshare
- Lifesecure
- Medishare
- Samaritans Ministry
- Altrua

One of the reasons I love the Midwest :)
Keep in mind that’s only medical. No dental, no vision. COBRA is a good stop gap option for all. But that’ll run you at least $1700/mo for a family

Your best choice is COBRA. Sorry, I know it sucks. The market ones are crap. COBRA is expensive, but worth it
