Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? after 9 years as an insurance claims processor

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as an insurance claims processor. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. Did anyone switch mid-year?

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.
