I live in New York City, and until recently, I was insured through my NYC-based employer and paid $30-something a month in premiums, with my employer paying another $30. The job I had before that, also in New York, was about the same.

However, I recently started working remotely for a small company based in Massachusetts, where health insurance is *mandatory* for all. I now pay over $300 a month in premiums, and my employer pays another $300. Just this morning, I got an email that we are switching to a different insurance company (and still paying over $300 each) because the one we had was raising our rates 26%.
