How are you unable to buy from the marketplace? It’s not cheap but it should be available to anyone no?

Definitely talk to your accountant you can likely write it off. I’m in California and use coveredca but it will obviously vary depending on your state. If you have an insurance co you like you can look into just ordering directly with them, I know ppl who do that too.

Start with COBRA. It’s expensive but much better than Marketplace as it’s pre-negotiated by the company you were working for. Do this for 18 months to give you time to research your other options.

Marketplace plans are very expensive and all have very limited in-network options, at least in NY anyway.

Freelancers Union have a couple of options but one requires no pre-existing conditions (SOLO) and the other requires you to have some ongoing1099 income (OPOLIS).
