2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why we should elect Bernie Sanders. How much do you pay for your health insurance... [View all]Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)17. FYI, my husband and I do this for a living. You never managed to prove how you saved so much money
because we have never been able to realize such savings for any of our clients ever. Not through our independents attempts. Through insurance agents
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, not through a non-profit that we work with that assists low income people access insurance through ACA.

I think this should be part of the reform. (And an idea I emailed the Bernie team about)
