COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do? - 9 months and counting

The COBRA quote for my family is $150 a month and I do not know how to afford it. I saw that marketplace plans might cost less. How did you decide?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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