I am early retired due to disability and lost my job in 2023. I have been on very expensive cobra coverage for my teen son and me (a single parent and his sole provider). It has become so expensive (almost $2,800 per month for medical/dental/vision!) so I needed to change to the healthcare marketplace in my state which is less expensive but still a lot of money ($1,750/month for medical and dental).
