I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a welding apprentice. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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.
