We’re running on a system that was designed for dad to have a job and mom to stay at home, and then dad could easily pay off the hospital bills and qualify for subsidies. But with TWO incomes, the annual threshold (which is like 8.something% of your premiums) can go waaay over that, and then you won’t qualify for subsidies. The idea is: “well Mr and Mrs richie rich, why don’t you just use some of YOUR money and maybe not buy another yacht” but just because two people make a lot of money doesn’t mean they’re not living paycheck to paycheck. There’s a lot of variables that can factor into this, but I’ve known people that make $400k a year (together) who have to buy an old house which is cheaper at first, but then come the repair$, the fucking roof AND the plumbing take a shit, and there’s arguments which lead to makeup sex, 9 months later you have a $20,000 hospital bill ON TOP OF everything else.
It can get really bad. I knew a guy that did loan sharking, and he told me that he knew a few couples where the husband would take his wife to go dance at a strip club while he worked a second job working security at night. She was a teacher and he was some kind of engineer. These were NORMAL people.
That guy ended up killing himself btw. Shot himself in the park on a Sunday in front a whole bunch of people. And she ended up getting into drugs and lost the kids.
This shit is happening. And people ask me why I sell drugs….bitch please.
