    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
