My curoisty now is .. Do we choice Darwinisim on healthcare...
If you have a low intelligence.. and unfortunally can only work a regular job as a bank teller.. but you have a family .. say 2 kids..
Lets say his average monthly income is 1800 a month .. which is not terribly bad considering he has no intelligence.
so .. 1800
750 for rent ((about right.. probably more for owning ))
100 Electric
20 for water
100 for phone
225 car payment
100 for full coverage for that car
200 grocery bill (( growing kids ))
Everyone can agree this is ABOUT right.. plus or minus about 100
I got $1495 dollars of his check now gone..
After doing some checking...with Humana online I found the starting price for BARELY any medical insurance is $230 dollars
Thats not including dental which tacks on an additional 137 dollars.
Already he is over budget ... by 66 dollars
you can argue all day that "well he doesn't need the car payment.. should buy a jalopy.. or he doesn't need a phone." instead of addressing the issue that his healthcare that he might never use is the second largest bill he has to worry about now.
Not to mention .. that the deductible is $7500...
