Unless she's the only earner in her household, 56K is not low income unless you're in a HCOL area. That being said, the point that I assume the article tries to make stands. I've done some rough calculations for how I would fare in various European countries before, and despite "muh free Healthcare" and all that, high taxes would leave me with virtually nothing leftover after food and lodging costs. Really the only major thing I would actually enjoy is the increased vacation time.
The scam never ends, and they hit you from both sides. 55k is low income, but - at least in the UK - 20k is "high skilled worker." Let everyone in, and then give them free shit. Arg.
It's amazing how fast clown world is spiraling. No matter how insane the USA gets, it still seems better to be here than most other places. But it's still probably not as high up on the list as it used to be, which is sad. Stupid laws and economics are really doing a number on us.
Btw Arizona has medicaid expansion. Indigent people get insurance for free. If you work, you have to pay for it. But anyways, everyone has access. At least in theory. it looked a lot like socialized medicine to me. I lived it a bit.

Man you aren't wrong. I knew a girl from the UK when I was younger and when she mentioned what she paid for car insurance I was absolutely floored.
They like backdoor class-gate driving. In America, even poor people have cars.

If that's for her household of two, that's low income.
She should spend a couple bucks getting those herp sores on her chin cleared up 😕
