What is AFFORDABLE healthcare? [View All]

I have been wondering this for a long time. I spoke couple years ago to a wealthy rethug that made this money in insurance and we argued this.
the new stats just came out

quote........
The Census Bureau's definition of poverty varies by the size of the household. For instance, the threshold for a family of four was $18,810, while for two people it was $12,015.Meanwhile, the median household income, when adjusted for inflation, remained basically flat last year at $43,318.
I'm single and I can't live on $18,810! How can a family of 3 and PAY insurance? If you live in a major city a family of 4 can't live on $43,318! That is basically $10/hour for each parent.


How is Kerry (or anyone else) going fix this probem? Yah most could afford $100/month....but that is not going to cut it.I don't see how we are ever going to fix this problem
