COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do? - 2 weeks in

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as an operations analyst. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
