Seinfeld Economics


According to the US Census Bureau, in 2009 the average annual cost of a health insurance plan for a family of four was $14,000.00

I recall George Costanza’s dismissive remark in the “Stock Tip” episode of the classic Seinfeld series.

“I don't know, what? Fourteen thousand? It's a Hyundai.”

When it comes from George’s lips, it doesn’t sound so bad.

(PS: Note to Seinfeld fans. I know that the original quote was ‘eight thousand’ but, hey, we gotta allow for inflation!)
