Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? - 9 months and counting

The COBRA quote for my family is $350 a month and I do not know how to afford it. Thank you in advance. My old employer will not help with the premium. Is the decision time really that tight?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
