The COBRA quote for my family is $1150 a month and I do not know how to afford it. It has been weighing on me all week. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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