A Broken System
A recent survey by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants revealed that 80% of the American workforce would prefer a job with healthcare benefits to a job offering a 30% higher salary.
The rising healthcare costs have also meant that those in a lower or middle-income bracket haven’t seen a salary increase since the early 2000s. That’s because the rising cost of healthcare keeps eating into the raises they get. Kevin certainly wasn’t to blame for being part of a broken system. But he had no idea things were about to change.
