You can go on right now and buy insurance regardless of your income. You get "discounts" based on your income. I could quit Delta right now and go buy insurance that is comparable to what Delta offers for 2015. I put in $200,000 as my annual income and could purchase a plan almost identical to the Silver HSA option available in 2015 for $715 per month. I haven't looked into the income levels and where the discounts kick in, but $715 per month is a lot cheaper than COBRA through Delta.
