What're Health Insurance Options For International Students Within Their Opt (recommended Practical Instruction)?

[fielding]

I am a global visual artist on my F-1 visa finishing my twelve months of OPT(optional practical education) in america. My college insurance coverage does not cover me in this 12 weeks coaching time, each and I won't be covered by my employer. I am learning Nyc. What sensible and reliable health insurance coverage programs are there out there for international OPT students?
