    urgent question: should I quit or allow to get laid off

    COBRA coverage is not 'discounted' - you have to pay the whole premium yourself (employee and employer share). All it lets you do is to extend your coverage period until you get covered under another plan. It does extend only 18 months and is federally mandated (not some states).
