Well in some states that’s still a thing. In RI which I just left that God forsaken shit hole 2 years ago if you don’t have health insurance coverage for the whole year you pay 800$ or 2% of what you made that year, whichever is GREATER.
Yep! RI is one of those states that there ain’t a shot in hell ur gonna survive on min wage anyways. Cheapest apts are 1800+, if ur on minimum wage and still want to eat on a 40 hour week you have multiple room mates. I still have friends in mass that are paying 2/3rds or more of my mortgage for a ROOM. So glad I left there, not that shits all that much better in other states but at least I’m building equity now 🤷

Damn that’s like almost 3% of your income if you make near minimum wage.
