Doesn't exist, they handed me the card of a private broker. I was hoping there was some kind of government program (COBRA?) for scenarios like this before I went that route.

Welfare. That's what most people did, myself included.

If you're healthy there's nothing wrong with going without for 2 weeks. The federal mandate doesn't apply to that short a period of time.

I got gap coverage for a month between law school and working. Wasn't expensive.
I think I used
this site to get quotes, but I don't know that it's any better than any other site.

I did this too. I spent about $35/month for the 3 month gap. If something awful happens, I'll be out $5-10k, but the odds of that are pretty low.
