Of course not. If they make 50G they aren't paying that much on a car and that cheap on housing though. They are most likely opting out for the health insurance too.rgambs said:
You dont really think everyone in NY makes more than 50,000$ a year do you?tempo_n_groove said:
This person in the chart only spends $2500 a year on healthcare? That must be out of pocket expenses. Whom actually pays their premium though?CM189191 said:
34% of average income on housingrgambs said:
I actually don't think it's that crazy ridiculous to spend a 10th of your income on healthcare, it's just that for a 10th of your income you should actually get healthcare and not just the medical disaster insurance that we actually have.tempo_n_groove said:
I hope that is right and Trump's EO gets overturned and the premiums actually go down.Gern Blansten said:
yeah that didn't work....subsidies aren't going anywheretempo_n_groove said:
Yes they are there now but there was an executive order signed by Trump where this won't be the case. They are going to go away.Gern Blansten said:
show you where? Go to healthcare.gov and sign up for a plan. If your income allows you get a subsidy. It's all still there man.tempo_n_groove said:If I am wrong then I'll admit it but you've got to show me where.
The Insurance companies are raking in money by raising premiums each year because they know that subsidies are going away too.
It's criminal.
It's ridiculous how much I pay...
18% on transportation
Why is 10-15% of your income for healthcare & insruance so unreasonable?
This chart must be for someone who lives in the midwest because you aren't surviving here in NY on that salary...
It's also very impressive that they put away the recommended 10% of their income away for retirement.
Again this is for someone in the midwest not NY...
You don't think that all New Yorkers actually live like this chart, do you?

I was curious so it says "avg long island salary makes $54,000 a year". Then another says average weekly salary is $1200 a week. These charts are all over the place...rgambs said:

I've been saying to independents who refuse to vote Bernie if he is the nominee, that ACA is gone and preexisting conditions are back if trump wins.
They mostly seem to be well off and dont care about ACA. But you get sick, cant work, expensive procedures denied,go bankrupt, then what?
It unbelievable the Court would hear this case. I guess they have to since the appellate ruled against its earlier decision?0 -
My ACA premiums went up $7/month this year.

Any thoughts regarding Trumpet’s midnight effort to overturn Obamacare?
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the Trump administration on Thursday urged the Supreme Court to overturn the Affordable Care Act. The late-night court filing came on the same day the government reported that close to half a million people who lost their health insurance amid the economic shutdown have gotten coverage through HealthCare.gov.Post edited by stuckinline on0 -
I have no idea what he is trying to accomplish there. What is amazing to me is the number of people that vote for tRump that rely heavily on the ACA and yet they still vote for tRump and probably support the overturning of "Obamacare" because they are too stupid to realize that it is the ACA.stuckinline said:Any thoughts regarding Trumpet’s midnight effort to overturn Obamacare?

And 20% is ridiculous. At that rate your cost doubles about every 4 years. Middle class can’t afford healthcare anymore.Gern Blansten said:

It's been that way since at least 1998 which is when I started paying my own premiums. You used to be able to change carriers (like car insurance) to get better rates but prior to the ACA you could only do that if you didn't have any pre-existing conditions.mace1229 said:

Yeah I have had my own insurance since 1998 and since then ever year no matter the company cost seem to go up between 15-20% , the ACA although not in all cases has had premiums drop over the years for most of the silver / bronze plans ( cannot speak for gold ).My friends plan went down 12 dollars this past year via the ACA , regardless this is the issue with insurance not just the ACA , everything is still going thru the insurance companies that need to maximize profits for share holders year over year while at the same time have to pay so many people who are just pushing paper around.
