COBRA quote is huge, any alternatives? - first time posting

I just got my COBRA paperwork and the deadline to decide is close. 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?

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

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