Chris York helps people in Washington County compare every 2027 CoverME.gov plan by phone and video. In person only at 272 Main St, Lewiston, by appointment. Help is free to you — insurers pay brokers.
Sample ZIP 04654: 30 plans from Anthem, Community Health Options and Harvard Pilgrim. For a single non-smoker age 40, full monthly price before savings — cheapest Bronze $649.06 (Anthem), benchmark Silver $826.15, cheapest Gold $868.05. That Bronze sample sits between the statewide low of $597.98 and high of $649.06 for age 40. Figures as of November 8, 2026, from CoverME.gov's plan comparison tool.

Chris works with households in Calais, Machias, Eastport, Lubec, Baileyville, Jonesport, and Milbridge, and the smaller towns around them, by phone and video.
Community and general hospitals on the current Maine Hospital Association membership list here are Calais Community Hospital and Down East Community Hospital. Check the plan's provider directory or ask Chris on the call before you enroll — this page never states which 2027 network covers which hospital.
Washington County livelihoods often include fishing, lobstering, blueberries and other self-employed work with uneven monthly income. Chris helps build a 2027 income estimate for CoverME.gov and compare plans by phone and video — there is no Down East office visit.
Calais border workers and Machias captains should say whether any income is paid in Canadian dollars or short seasons. Chris translates that into a CoverME.gov yearly estimate before December 15. Lubec and Eastport residents can text photos of pay stubs instead of emailing them.
MaineCare questions and renewals go through Maine DHHS — use the Maine DHHS office locator. Chris is not paid for MaineCare enrollments and does not do MaineCare renewals; he will still check whether MaineCare or CoverME.gov fits before you buy a plan.
With Aroostook and Hancock, the age-40 Bronze sample was $649.06 — the highest group in the collected data.
