Mercury News review: Cost of subscription

I have had a subscription for over 40 years. I am 80 and in assisted living. Most residents pay about $200. a year. My last quote was $428.42 for 6 months. Can I cancel my subscription and start one at the lower rate?
I get no help when I call. Same quote.
This is my contact with the world. Now it is out of sight for me. I do not want to cancel, I like the newspaper.
Anything you can do to help me with mercury news?
