We used Wawanesa in California in the '70's (my parents' decision, as I was still half a decade away from the driver's seat of a car) and I remember my Mom really liked them. When I moved out to CA after college my Mom recommended I try them, but I was poor poor poor and chose another company which allowed higher deductibles. I think it was either State Farm or Allstate.
We have State Farm now and they're well below what Geico offered us.
As for Cobra, it's terrifically expensive, usually. Look into other options like Blue Cross which will offer coverage for catastrophes (emergency appendectomy, broken leg) with a high deductible but a low premium. You may prefer this to the high Cobra premium. They (Blue Cross, etc) will exclude any "pre-existing" conditions, though, often for the duration of the plan, so it may not be worth it.
Good luck. Annoying decisions to have to be making.
