If not Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton: You’ve just seen the future under a Republican President.

If you're fortunate enough to have health insurance through your employer, try this little exercise. Just imagine how you’d feel if one day that benefit was just taken away, because someone felt the expense would be better served by giving the multimillionaires who owned your company a huge tax cut.

Then when you complained, your boss turns to you, smiles, and says, “we don't care."

Congratulations. You’ve just seen the future under a Republican President.

$1,700 to $14,500 (for two of us) since the Heritage plan came on line, while the insurance companies make record profits. Personally I think hell will freeze over before Big Insurance lets anyone pull the plug on the biggest transfer of cash from the government to the private sector ever.
