"Let’s say you live in New York and earn $100,000 annually."
wtf ?
I didn't read the rest of the article after that statement.Too divorced from reality.
How about you start with "Let's say you work at a part-time temp agency doing manual labor for $8 an hour and your hours are restricted to 30 hours a week.You are socially trapped at the moment and see no way out"
Then the article would be more realistic.
- dajohnson89 10y agoWhatever the typical demographic is for an nyt reader, it's not a manual worker making $8/hr.
- wturner 10y agoOk, you're right. Those people should not be considered. Only "normal people" who make $100,000 a year should be.....and the down votes to this post agree! The real answer to this absurd nonsense is that all this can be done via algorithms to determine who is the biggest liability, which helps these "insurance companies" to choose who to accept and not to accept. This benefits the companies but defeats the purpose of insurance in the first place.
