Rather they choose to do so, however, is another matter.

$6.55 (July 24, 2008) x 40=$ 262.00 per week.

After taxes about =$190.00 per week.



The annual premium for single coverage averaged over $4,400.2


Divide by 52 weeks =$84.61


Leaves $105.39 for one person to live on.

Care to explain how you can live on that?
