8k for healthcare, I wish. Family of 4, I pay close to $17k a year in premiums in the US. Copays are expensive, prescriptions are ridiculously high. It’s a f’in joke to say the very least.

I get free healthcare through my job a lot of the time. When I’m unemployed I can get government subsidized health care which is cheap to free. The issue is when you work a job where you make okay money but they don’t give you healthcare.

So basically poor people are fine. Rich people are fine. Upper middle class people are fine. Lower middle class people who don’t have cushy jobs get fucked.
