Family of 4
2 Income Earners
You can qualify for medicaid and WIC if you make under $31,000 a year.
31,000 (Gross income) / 52 weeks in a year / 40 hours a week/ 2 income earners = $7.45 per hour
So this is to show you how a family with two full time workers making above the minimum wage still qualify for Medicaid & WIC. This assumes that both parents are so blessed as to have full time employment. Now, I will grant you that they probably don't have the most spectacular jobs in the world but this easily includes most employees in the retail & restaurant industries... which the town I live in thrives on.
Again, this just doesn't sit right with me that two people could work full time still can't support their own family with out assistance.
