COBRA quote is huge, any alternatives? - 12 months and counting

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a sales associate. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. How did you decide?

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

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