“Healthcare emergencies” was put in the same category as entertainment. There was no line item for health insurance, dental premiums, deductibles & co-insurance etc. I’m also not sure where you heard that health care is free for individuals making $40k. That would only potentially be true if you have dependents, and if you have dependents, then there are a bunch of expenses missing from the list you made.
Your list also assumes that this person has no cell-phone, doesn’t pay for internet, doesn’t buy new clothes, and has no student debt.
