Young, fit and uninterested

摘要

Mary Taft, a 63-year-old in Waco, Texas, had not had health insurance for more than a decade. She earns $22,000 a year as a home health-care worker, tending to the elderly, so she could not afford insurance for herself. Thanks to Obamacare's subsidies, now she can. She pays just $64 a month for her coverage, which kicked in on January 1st. "I was counting down the days," Mrs Taft says. Her 33-year-old son, who earns about $12,000 a year at a sandwich shop, signed up for coverage, too. He pays even less, just $20.
