Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? after 4 years as a line cook

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a line cook. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky.

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.
