COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do?, accounts payable clerk here

The COBRA quote for my family is $1000 a month and I do not know how to afford it. It has been a long 12 weeks. My old employer will not help with the premium. How did you decide?

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.
