TAMPA, Fla. — Sophany Nuth’s 30-hour-a-week job baking doughnuts doesn’t come with health insurance.
His weekly take-home pay is about $318. With rent, food and other bills, the 35-year-old Seffner father couldn’t afford the $400 a month quotes he got from private health insurers to cover him, his wife and two young children.
He was so worried, Nuth considered moving his family to Canada or Australia, which have universal health care.
