Health

Health in NYC: where a doctor’s visit costs $500, therapy costs $300 per hour, and SoulCycle costs $40 per class because apparently pedaling in the dark to remixed Beyoncé counts as healthcare now. We cover the city’s wellness industrial complex, boutique fitness scams, juice cleanses that cost more than rent, and the ongoing mystery of why New Yorkers are simultaneously health-obsessed and stress-riddled messes. From yoga studios charging resort prices to mental health crises nobody can afford to treat properly, we document the contradictions of staying healthy in America’s most unhealthy city. Namaste, now pay your deductible.</p>
