$200 is left for food and medical and clothing, and won't buy you a very healthy diet, at least where I am, which is considered a cheaper place to live. Also that's ignoring, the systematic barriers in the way of doing that. In a place where you don't need a car to get from cheap apartments to work, "cheap apartments" cost more than $600. In a place where apartents are actually cheap enough, and someone walks say a mile every day to work, they're competing with everyone else to find work in a small radius. That's a tiny tip of the iceberg, but in a perfect world minimum wage would be enough to live on for everyone everywhere. We don't live anywhere near there
