COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do? - 8 weeks in

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as an accountant. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. Is the decision time really that tight?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

A quick call to the plan's member line cleared up two things for us that the letter did not.
