I give up!

I give up!  Trying to keep up with the ObamaCare news, that is.  I can't figure out whether it's going to collapse under the weight of poor design, poor implementation, and poor optics – or make us all yearn for the healthcare system of Bangladesh...

My personal, immediate issue is this: after I retired this past January, we continued my former employer's healthcare through the COBRA program. We can do this for up to 18 months, but ... the annual enrollment period is underway, and finishes on November 15.  So sometime in the next two weeks, I have to figure out whether it makes more sense for us to buy private insurance directly, use the ObamaCare exchange, or to extend our COBRA insurance.  I have no freaking idea which makes more sense.  Any advice from my readers?
