COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do? - 6 months and counting

I just got my COBRA paperwork and the deadline to decide is close. I saw that marketplace plans might cost less. How did you decide?

If you have a planned treatment, COBRA can make sense for a few months. Otherwise look at the marketplace first.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
