Looks like you never actually had to pay for COBRA out of pocket. It's not financially feasible for the large majority of people, especially those who didn't have to pay out of pocket for their coverage previously. A single person can be ~$800USD, and if you want to cover dependents in your family, at least double it.
My partner is losing their healthcare very soon and it's cheaper to pay out of pocket for regular doctors and prescriptions than pay for COBRA. You basically have to be in the hospital for COBRA to be worth it.
