        Remember when Trump mixed up life and health insurance; he might actually have a better handle on insurance than the GOP.

        That belief unfortunately tends to sit more with left-aligned groups who support health insurance/similar programs

        Just like other forms of insurance, there is every possibility you will pay in more than you get back. With HC, that's a good thing I think.
