Anyone watch "30 days" of FX?

[kurto]

Its the show by the guy who did SuperSize Me where they try different challenges for 30 days.

In this first episode, he and his girlfriend try to live on minimum wage for 30 days. Its EYE opening. And it really shows how wrong it is that the minimum wage hasn't been raised since '98.

The most eye opening was healthcare. His girlfriend had to go to the doctor with a yeast infection and he for a bad arm. The bill was over $1000... including $40 for an ace bandage (that's criminal.) They realized that with both of them working, it was going to take them 3 months just to pay their hospital bills.

As a person whose job has always provided him with health insurance and has always being relatively comfortable... it was pretty eye opening.
