COBRA does not cost "exactly the same amount it cost you while you were employed". It costs you what your employer paid for that coverage. Virtually all employer-provided health care is heavily subsidized, often to the tune of 50-90%.

It's weird that you have such strong opinions about this subject, given your superficial grasp of it.
