Apply for Medicaid.

In NYS it goes by your projected upcoming weekly salary, so if you're not working it's 0 so you would qualify for it.

Not sure about Cali though.

I was able to get a plan on Covered California for less than $70 a month with no copays when I was unemployed. Depending on your needs. Once you apply, you can compare many options.

I applied for “covered California” and receive about $400/mo toward insurance for a family of 4. Then I chose Blue Shield of Ca for our plan. It’s still about $1900 after the assistance but there are many cheaper options too.

You should see how much the state will give you, then pick a decent plan you can afford.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE.
