Not in san francisco (for example), which is the only place a lot of these jobs are offered -- cost of living for a single person to live comfortably is about 9000/month = 108,000/year

Rent alone is on average 3,455/month, or 41,460/year. That's half this guy's (pre-tax!) salary

San fran is probably an extreme example but you get the idea

I work in the LA area so that’s not too far off and my rent is about 3,012$

But that seems more like a San Francisco/LA problem than a national healthcare system problem. It might just be that area is unlivabley expensive even for people making good money. They clearly have marketable skills that could be applied to another job with health insurance in another area. I don’t see why the taxpayer needs to support the decision to live in an area like that. I support a social safety net for people who need help because they can’t support themselves.

Your reaching for one, you have no clue where this guy lives and if he is living somewhere out of his means than that is his problem not the governments! He lost his medicare because he has the means to pay for it he is choosing not to. We should instead focus on the people making under 100k a year who are struggling! This is what keeps our tax payers dollars down by lowering the amount of medicare people who have the means to pay for healthcare but choose not to because they don’t want to

And where are you calculating that the cost of living to be comfortable is 9,000 a month? I’m going to need a source or breakdown of your reasoning because my family of four lived on less than that.(inflation adjusted,) For years.

The average monthly cost of living in the US is 4,641$ according to google. How did you nearly double that number?

So that the information fits their agenda. They make things up to be able to make themselves seem that they are right.

Oh, I see the confusion. I got this job about two years ago, right after finishing my master’s degree. At that time, I couldn’t afford health insurance, so I was on Medicaid. I had also been on Medicaid throughout high school, so it was easier to extend my coverage. Now, my coverage is ending soon, and with Trump’s new bill, it looks like I’m going to have to switch to premium health insurance — which is going to make everything a lot more difficult.

Talk to your HR person. This is a qualifying event, so you can enrol with your company out of season.
