> A software engineer paying for full price for high premium plan on COBRA would be spending around $400

Last time I continued health insurance via COBRA, I paid nearly $2k a month in premiums alone.

I also want to share that I paid for COBRA $1,660 a month for for my family coverage (spouse + 2 kids) so $400 is probably not true in many cases even if single it seems really a low estimate

I just estimated mine, and I would pay about $700/month. A stiff increase to be sure, but easily manageable if I was getting six months salary.
