Background As someone new to the whole healthcare system, I often do not know which healthcare options to go with when it involves HSA/FSA, deductible, copay, company matches, etc. In the attempt to find the best choice for the healthcare plan, I spent a few hours creating a shiny app for everyone to modify for their own purposes.

Wonder what one week of metro traffic would look like? Wanna see the heaviest/lightest traffic times for your NYC metro stops? Check out this app here.
