Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? - 3 months and counting

The COBRA quote for my family is $700 a month and I do not know how to afford it. My old employer will not help with the premium.

I priced both side by side: total yearly cost, doctors in network and the deductible. Marketplace was cheaper for us, but only because our doctors were covered.

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