the best way to determine whether the marketplace plans will be a better deal is to go onto healthcare. gov and start shopping the options. in addition to the monthly premium it will be very important for you to closely evaluate the details of the plan benefits -- often employer coverage is more robust. be sure to watch for how much you'll be required to pay in deductibles co-pays and co-insurance for your care. then evaluate which plan will be the better deal for you. keep in mind that if you're not working right now (sounds like you're currently on a cobra plan) you'll likely qualify for a substantial subsidy for a plan purchased through the exchange that could lower both your premium and your out-of-pocket costs.
