If you need COBRA, you don't have to take it immediately either! You do have some time to decide on that, but the costs can be ridiculous. However, I know how important continuity can be if you have a family and found good providers.

You might have to prove you're making no money when renewing after a year or two, all I had to do was write: I, <name>, have had no income since <date> after leaving <work place>. Signed it and emailed it in, no fuss other than that.
