Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? after 6 years as a security officer

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a security officer. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I saw that marketplace plans might cost less. How did you decide?

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

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