florida isn't running its own marketplace but there will be one available in your state run by the federal government. don't cancel your cobra until you've done your homework but there is a good chance you'll be able to find a health plan for less money by shopping your new options starting october 1st. once you qualify for medicare you'll need to sign up and you'll drop your private coverage.
i have been paying dearly for health insurance since my husband's retirement. . i will be 65 in april. i am in fl so no state insurance marketplace come oct. should i cancel my cobra at the end of the year and try to find coverage for a few months next year until medicare takes effect?
