COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do?, delivery driver here

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a delivery driver. Any experience at all would help. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. How did you decide?

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

Check what the notice says about the election period and when coverage starts. Mine allowed a short window to choose.
