| Cobra is so expensive, hoping I don't have to go that route. |

| There is no "Obamacare" insurance policy. Are you talking about Medicaid? |

You could purchase a plan in an exchange, and it will likely be cheaper than an employer-based COBRA plan. COBRA, at the very least, charges 2% on top of full premiums as an administrative charge.
When purchasing in an exchange, you could also benefit from sliding scale subsidies based on your income. |

When the exchanges start, you will have two choices:
1. COBRA 2. the exchange See here: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/FLSAwithplans.pdf |
