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

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a project coordinator. I do not usually post, so bear with me. My old employer will not help with the premium. Did anyone switch mid-year?

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

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