COBRA costs more than my rent, what did you do? (Milwaukee)

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a project coordinator. I have been trying to stay organised about it. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. How did you decide?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

A quick call to the plan's member line cleared up two things for us that the letter did not.
