$60 a month for me individually would be a nearly 60% of my premium. I
pay around $27 a week for individual coverage.
That much of a subsidy would allow most folks that currently can't
afford it to be able to.
If it were $60 per individual and not per family it would allow a
family of three to get basic health coverage for around the same cost
to them as a single individual, possibly a family of four depending
upon the provider.
Libs would never go for that though since it wouldn't cover 100% of
the premium. You know it's that all or nothing thing they got going.
