  The actual middle class generally has a job that gives health insurance which will pay for it almost entirely. If you don’t, you’re probably not middle class unfortunately

    While it’s a fact that the middle class is shrinking, I think you’re miscalibrated.

    You’re describing what people used to think “middle class” meant. These days, we all know that health insurance doesn’t cover nearly as much as you want it to. Costs have skyrocketed in the last few years, let alone decades.
