I'm a 24-year-old branding and retail designer in the East Village.

Jesus.

In Ohio, I paid $48 per month for a health insurance plan with a $3,000 deductible.

The cheapest plan I can find here in New York (through Freelancers’ Union) is $196 per month and has a $10,000 deductible.

Anthem BCBS of Ohio wanted to transfer me to Empire BCBS in NY. They quoted me $1,229 per month for a plan that wasn’t even as good as the plan I had in Ohio.
