Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? after 15 years as an event coordinator

I just got my COBRA paperwork and the deadline to decide is close. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. How did you decide?

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.
