"But the health care money must come from somewhere!"

Not from groceries. That's what our high income taxes are for (I guess), lol. I'm in Canada though, and I still think $900/month for basically two people and a baby is a bit excessive (if they are wanting to save money - I have no problem with it if they have no problem with it). I live in one of the most expensive places that you can live in the Country and we have a teenage daughter, me and my 6'6" husband (who is a chef) to feed and do it for less than half of that. We buy lots of fresh fruit, veggies, etc. too. Eating healthy is more expensive than the junk, and we still manage pretty well on far less than what she is spending currently.
