COBRA is outrageously expensive. If you have no (or little) income, the ACA is a no-brainer I think.

My parents paid for it for me and refused to consider anything cheaper, so I was lucky, but yeah, it is something like $700 a month.

For my family COBRA is about $2500 a month, which is a lot when you aren't working!

It's a lot when you ARE working!
