According to [broken link removed]on the Health Insurance Authority's website, the only plans cheaper than Me Plan Level 1 are Quinn's Essential Starter and Quinn's CompanyHealth.

These won't be identical to what you have so make sure to review what's on offer before switching to make sure you're happy with the cover.
 
I see by the Quinn Website there was no mention of the levy.eg Essential Starter 330 Euro

When Quinn increased their prices in January, they stated that half of the price increase was due to the levy. So Quinn are charging at least some of the levy.

From here:

Before the announcement of the new health insurance levy we were planning an average price increase of 8% to reflect the increased costs of providing health cover, with the 20% increase in public hospital beds being a significant driver of this. The new levy amounts to 12% of premium for us and, while we are bearing some of the impact, we have no option but to increase our prices by 8% more than that we would have otherwise done. As well as not passing on the full impact of the levy to our customers we have ensured that the pricing increases on lower level plans are kept to a minimum.
