Health Insurance Confusion/Advice 26 F

Hello, I am 26 year old female and currently trying to find some heath insurance. My current job offers health insurance, but it’s based out of New York and I live in Ohio working remote so it’s quite expensive for me ($222 taken out of each paycheck so $444 monthly). Also, when I look at the health insurance offered by my job, it states it’s only available in NY,NJ, CT but my boss says otherwise. Either way, it’s not widely accepted where I live so not worth the $444 taken out of my paycheck. My boss is offering to give me an insurance stipend of $300 a month. I make $50,000 a year pre-tax. I applied on healthcare.gov and it looks like I don’t qualify for any medicaid, Obamacare, etc. A part of me thinks it’s because In my application I put that my job does offer health insurance so that means I don’t qualify…or is it I make too much? Should I have put that my Job doesn’t offer me any insurance since it doesn’t apply in the state I live in? Either way, I need some advice on what to do and how to get affordable health insurance that is actually realistic and doesn’t have a deductible of $3,000. Any advice would help me. Thank you so much.
