Why Your Raise Is Finally Beating the Cost of a Doctor Visit

from Wages and Prices with Fexingo: Cost of Living, Pay Raises, and Workers' Purchasing Power · host Fexingo

In Episode 112 of Wages and Prices with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how wage growth is finally outpacing healthcare costs — specifically, the price of an average doctor visit. Using the latest data, including a drop in CPI and rising median weekly earnings, they break down why a $150 primary care visit now takes up a smaller slice of your paycheck than it did two years ago. They dig into the mechanics of health insurance design, the role of high-deductible plans, and how the 'silver loading' strategy in ACA marketplace plans quietly shifted costs. A concrete, numbers-driven look at a rare bright spot in the affordability landscape. #Wages #HealthcareCosts #DoctorVisit #CPI #Inflation #PurchasingPower #WageGrowth #HealthInsurance #ACA #SilverLoading #Economics #Podcast #WagesAndPrices #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CostOfLiving #PayRaise #PrimaryCare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
