25% of American households make $25,00 or less. Do you think they can afford $15,000 a year for insurance?
Have you ever been to a free clinic???
While this stat could be correct, one needs to look a step further.
Hardly anyone making this salary is paying their own ins.
I know in many of the rural areas people are making less than this and their employer is paying their health ins. Even many teachers do not make 25,000 in rural areas but their health ins is paid. 25,000 would equate to about twelve bucks an hour. Around here WalMart pays around 8 bucks plus health ins. etc.
Besides the 15,000 dollar figure is an wildly extreme case. Besidess many with a real low income are already on a gov assistance program for health care..........especially the kids. I have yet to see a kid deprived of medical care. Or even an adult for that matter.
