Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? (Milwaukee)

I just got my COBRA paperwork and the deadline to decide is close. My spouse has a chronic condition, so dropping coverage feels risky. Is the decision time really that tight?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier 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.
