I know exactly what you are saying. Without going into personal detail, almost no one I know has insurance, and those who do are being bankrupted by it.
I met a gal with FIVE YOUNG KIDS who can’t insurance and pays the fine. She cleans houses, washes windows, her husband is a house framer. Seasonal work. So ppl w o health insurance because they can’t afford it, with 5 kids, pay the fine, which they can’t afford, pay all medical bills which they can’t afford. Triple whammy.
