Lol 50 hours a week and can't afford insurance? Thars 100 hours a week. That's around $700 dollars a week at minimum wage and the can't put at least 1/7 of that weekly wage towards insurance?I spent over 7 years working for Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation and Touchette Regional Hospital. As, respectively, a chain of FQHCs and a safety net hospital, our primary clientele were the impoverished, the undocumented, the homeless, etc. I would run reports on who had insurance and their reported income levels.
I will repeat this again, so hopefully you will engage with it rather than dismiss it. When you talk about whose health insurance you don't want to help cover, you should remember it:
You're already on the hook for the healthcare coverage impoverished, the unempolyable, the the undocumented immigrants, and the downright irresponsible. That's what Medicaid and the 330 programs cover.
The people without health insurance are the ones working 50+ hours at two different minimum wage jobs. Those are the people you are spitting upon and whom you don't think deserve any help.
With more jobs than people maybe they should find a better job. Minimum wage is for high school kids not adults.
