(5,730 posts)subsidized insurance! I know of about 20 who rage against Obamacare because of the subsidies. Yet, through coverage by state hospitals, teacher insurance, universities, government employees, government contractors, Congress, THEY get subsidies, for which the private sector, small businesses, owners and workers, pay more in taxes, and more in insurance premiums to offset their low rates.
The hypocrisy and ignorance drives me crazy!
I wasn't a Sanders supporter (but I would have been if he were the nominee), but I am now. I just wish he were at least 10 years younger, and could make it for 12 years.
I have an Aunt and Uncle mid 80s, who still work 60+ hours per week, though they are wealthy, and their minds are sharp...so, who knows, maybe Bernie can make it.
