Even if you quit your job in the US, you're entitled to COBRA coverage for 18 months if your employer had more than 20 employees.

It allows you to continue the health plan you had at your employer, provided you cover the entirety of the cost. With Obamacare, COBRA is not necessarily cheaper now, but it was in the past.

When I left my previous job, I elected COBRA coverage because HSAs weren't available on healthcare.gov. I pay $280 for an HSA plan with a maximum deductible of $6k, dental, and vision in Texas.

It's not cheap, but it's not completely unaffordable either.
