- shukantpal 5y agoMy mother working at Walmart pays $60/month since the rest is paid by the government. If you’re starting something, you probably won’t have income so the cost goes down for you too.
- kcplate 5y agoThe challenge with almost all government subsidies is that you need a tax year of little to no income before you can qualify.
- hanniabu 5y agoAlso because it's not very good. Anybody that thinks it is hasn't seen the quality of the doctors that take that instance. It's noticeably lower.
- kcplate 5y agoI disagree. $445/mo for a healthcare policy for a family would be cheap. Likely cheaper financially to a young family than the tax impact of socialized healthcare would be to them.

- aix1 5y agoYour comment got me curious, so I looked up per-capita annual cost of the NHS (the socialised healthcare system in the country where I live). The latest official data says "In 2017, the UK spent £2,989 per person on healthcare, which was around the median for members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development." This is about US$330 per person per month. (I don't have any point to make. Just thought I'd share the data I found.) https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthcaresystem/articles/howdoesukhealthcarespendingcomparewithothercountries/2019-08-29 https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...
