I'm just trying to figure out if I know anyone without insurance these days. Even the few I know that don't get it through work get it through their spouse's employer.

And if you're making $50k/yr and don't have health insurance, WTF is up with your priorities?

Agreed lol. I was talking with some of my co-workers last night about this. If you are making 50k a year, there is a really good chance your employer already has a health care plan for you.

This person may also be able to get a gov subsidy to help pay for their premiums depending on their income, number of family members, etc.
