Yeh, it costs about 4x as much as when you have insurance through your employer. Probably 5x by now.

I worked in HR benefits for years. COBRA is extremely expensive, and most ended up not even considering it as a viable option.

COBRA is VERY expensive. Not in my budget on retirement. My wife has coverage through her employer...mine is backup. My HR office advises that I don’t have to get on the Medicare rolls until I leave my employer sponsored insurance. A 6 month window to sign up starts when I retire.
