Is COBRA worth it after a layoff?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Check what the notice says about the election period and when coverage starts. Mine allowed a short window to choose.
