| Doesn't have to meet Federal standards for comprehensive health coverage | All plans must meet Federal standards |

Compare COBRA insurance alternatives
Lost your job-based health plan? COBRA lets you keep it, but you usually pay the full cost yourself. A Marketplace plan may cost less, especially if you qualify for a premium tax credit. Compare both before you decide.
COBRA basics
- You have at least 60 days to decide whether to elect COBRA.
- After you elect, you have 45 days to make your first payment.
- COBRA can cost up to 102% of the plan's full price.
- It usually lasts 18 months, and up to 36 months in some cases.
Switching to a Marketplace plan
- Losing job-based coverage gives you 60 days to enroll in a Marketplace plan, even if you were offered COBRA.
- During Open Enrollment (November 1 – January 15 for 2027 coverage in most states), you can switch from COBRA for any reason.
- If you drop COBRA early on purpose outside Open Enrollment, you usually have to wait until the next Open Enrollment. Ending COBRA because it ran out does open a Special Enrollment Period.
- No credit card or payment needed
- Free quotes, no obligation
