Check to see if your state offers a state covered medicaid health insurance plan. Do not pay COBRA if they do offer one and if you qualify. Idk about Indiana, but New York offers it and they'll cover, nearly everything from copays, to prescriptions, to surgical procedures.

Also, apply for SNAP and any other government programs. Dont avoid them to save face as they not only help financially, but having them helps relieve a good amount of the stress of getting by until you get back on your feet, so you can focus on your employment goals and remain sane.

Been in your shoes and wishing you the best man.

Do it and don't let yourself or anyone else shame you. They'd do the same in your situation if they had the option, and that's what these programs are for.
