What Is The Best Way To Get Health Insurance When Unemployed? 
There may be a couple of different options for you . The first option being Cobra which is a continuation of your employers coverage but usually at quite a substantial increase in premium which could be hard to pay for the unemployed . The second option would be to get coverage through the Marketplace , healthcare.gov and apply for a subsidy . Unemployment Income does count as an eligible income and as long as it is around $ 11,700 for an individual then you would most likely qualify . The subsidy from the government can be applied directly to your monthly premium and would pay all or most of the monthley premium , in most cases . The third option if you do not qualify for a subsidy would be Medicaid . Medicaid is administered through each state and overseen by CMS . Your best option is going to be trying to get help with a subsidy and buying a plan through the Marketplace . Also , if you do qualify for that subsidy then you want to go with a Silver Plan because they also come with cost sharing which lower your co-pays , coinsurance , and out of pocket maximums . Please contact me and I will help you enroll in a plan and help you with the Marketplace application or go to rocoinsurance.com Good Luck
