COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do? - 10 weeks in

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a logistics coordinator. I worked as a logistics coordinator before this. I saw that marketplace plans might cost less. Is the decision time really that tight?

I priced both side by side: total yearly cost, doctors in network and the deductible. Marketplace was cheaper for us, but only because our doctors were covered.
