The assumptions used in this calculation are:

Age Factor: $2 per year of age
Income Factor: 0.01 (1% of annual income)

Worked Example

Let's calculate the medical card cost for a 45-year-old male with an annual income of $60,000 in the US:

Medical Card Cost = $500 + ($2 × 45) + (0.01 × $60,000) + $100

= $500 + $90 + $600 + $100

= $1,290 per year

This example shows that a 45-year-old male with $60,000 annual income in the US would pay approximately $1,290 per year for the medical card under the HSE program.
