Is COBRA worth it after a layoff?, pharmacy technician here

I was offered COBRA and the monthly cost is more than I expected as a pharmacy technician. It has been a long 7 weeks. I saw that marketplace plans might cost less. Is the decision time really that tight?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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.
