I was offered a job for a foreign company that is just expanding into the US market, I would be the 3rd US-based employee, so the company doesn't have a company healthcare plan.

What are my options here?

If I'm not mistaken I can elect COBRA for the next year or so to continue my prior coverage.

I know there are marketplace insurance plans, but I've heard *very* negative things about those options.

Are there other options? What have you done in these situations?
