Answer
If you lose a loved one, and thus love coverage, you qualify for a special enrollment period and an exemption from the fee. You'll get a Marketplace plan based on projected income. You'll be offered a price based on what you can afford now, not what you made before.
Every plan is different, and your costs and coverage will be based on the plan you choose. If you choose a plan in your network, then your Doctor will be covered under your plan. In general we suggest looking a Silver Marketplace plans first.
