COBRA quote is huge, any alternatives? - 7 months and counting

The COBRA quote for my family is $900 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. Is the decision time really that tight?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
