I like this article, this defines how I will be next year and the same for the past 7 years. No healthcare insurance. What I get paid in my job, is far above minimum wage. What I have to pay for insurance for my family and I exceeds on average 1/3 of my pay. My current bills are only slightly above 1/3, and incidentals for survival are now approaching 1/2 my pay(gas, utilities, groceries). This leaves me with no discretionary spending money, nor any way to save for retirement or emergencies. Do I complain, not really. Does my family eat well? We try, I refuse to only purchase sub par food, and exist on only hamburger, and pasta while illegals and gimmedats feed on food that is equivalent to the rich. I make sure all of our food is non-gmo and non-growth hormone laden.
So what I have no insurance, we don’t get sick all that much, and if a medical emergency comes up, we will manage the best we can. I would rather pay the Communist IRS penalty for no insurance than give away over a third of my income for something I rarely use to begin with.
excellent post
I’m a little confused. You say you have no health insurance then you say it costs one-third of your pay. Could you clarify?
