COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do? - first time posting

I just got my COBRA paperwork and the deadline to decide is close. I worked as a security officer before this. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky.

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

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