I was on basic health insurance(paid by myself) and it was mandatory for immigrants. I never had to visit the doctors, so unsure of the details of coverage.


Could you have raised a child on that salary? In the long term? How would you have paid for college? Could you break the cycle of poverty in your family without saving for your child's college education?


This is called "moving the goalposts".


If i were married to a working partner, then i probably would be able to do all of these.
