I think you'd be shocked.
A years worth of those expenses combined may not equal a months worth of coverage.
For far to many people the only way to afford it would be to give up all those things, live rent free and forgo eating 7 days a week.
If you are making the fed minimum wage, $7.25 x 40 x 56 = $16,240 pre tax dollars.
Average cost of coverage for single person is just under $500 per month ~$6,000 per year, family is just north of $1,000 so ~$12,000 per year.
