Anyone here know what the average iPhone Cost as compared to the average cost of Healthcare.

Half the reason why the poor keep getting poor and the rich keeps getting rich....."POOR" choices....
Iphones.....every 2 years..... it can cost between $300-$1000 for a phone.... phone plans can be as little as $30-$100, $360-$1200 a year for a cellphone...now add on the accessories, that these people "need", headphones, covers, cases blah blah blah.... The cost adds up. Dont even get me start on tablets.
Cellphones/smartphones have become a need vs a want. Its sad..... now add another "Want" a car..... These are all Wants that eat through peoples salary.... wasted cost vs needed cost......
Health care, is probably the most important tool you ever purchase in your life......You/person....work to make money, if you are sick you cannot work/cannot make money and that effects everything..... but if you invest in your health, and you stay healthy you can work and work hard, make more money and obtain the "wants" that your really enjoy.....
Sad to what our society has become.......

I pay $1,500/month for insurance (I don't qualify for subsidies) and I paid around $800 for my unlocked iPhone. But I think most lower income people with iPhones get them with a contract, which is much cheaper.

Looks like he rephrased after he got some heat.

I would argue a car is a "need" in certain places of the country without adequate public transportation.

If I recall about 16 percent are subtracted from wages for health care in Germany. They don't get to choose.
Germans can also opt-out of that and take every euro of their money to a private insurance company. German healthcare is insanely affordable and I've found it to be very high quality.
So basically, all poor people shouldn't get healthcare because you're convinced they're only poor because they all spend too much in I-phones and make poor choices? Not an ounce of compassion or understanding for your fellow human beings.
Chaffetz makes a solid point here. I would also like to add that poor people might have to tighten their belts and go to Ruth's Chris like every other month or play a few holes less when they go golfing. It's not like we have people living in this country that don't even have access to clean water or reliable electricity. He definitely gets what being poor is like. Good for him. Now let's take their healthcare.
Has no one touched on the absurdity of an elected official advertising for private insurance over apple products? Does that violate some ethics code somewhere? What if this guy is invested in private insurance? What if private insurance is invested in him? (Wanna bet they are?)
