Lost Job-Based Coverage? Compare Before Choosing COBRA

If you were recently laid off, your employer may offer COBRA.

COBRA keeps your old plan — but now you pay the full premium.

That often costs:

• $600–$900 per month for individuals

• $1,500+ for families

Before enrolling in COBRA, compare Marketplace plans.

In states like:

• Texas

• Florida

• Ohio

• Michigan

• Iowa

• South Carolina

• West Virginia

many people qualify for income-based savings.

Depending on income and household size, plans can be:

• Under $100/month

• Or even $0 premium in some cases

And unlike many broker websites, you can compare your options online without entering your phone number for call-backs.
