Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? after 11 years as a sales associate

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a sales associate. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. How did you decide?

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.
