this is a tough situation. cobra is very expensive but it is often the only guarantee of health insurance coverage outside of work until the affordable care act is fully implemented january 1 2014. until then you may not have great options from which to choose. still you might try looking for temporary insurance between now and the end of the year. i recommend you do a quick search on healthcare. gov to see what plans are available to you. otherwise your best bet is to log onto your state's health insurance exchange this fall (they open october 1) and select a health plan. you'll have a range of new options be assured of coverage and depending on your income you may qualify for financial assistance from the government to lower your insurance costs. just keep in mind coverage won't take effect until january 1 2014. this is a tough situation. cobra is very expensive but it is often the only guarantee of health insurance coverage outside of work until the affordable care act is fully implemented january 1 2014. until then you may not have great options from which to choose. still you might try looking for temporary insurance between now and the end of the year. i recommend you do a quick search on healthcare. gov to see what plans are available to you. otherwise your best bet is to log onto your state's health insurance exchange this fall (they open october 1) and select a health plan. more info at <link>
