re: Trump looking at end run around Obamacare?

Think of it this way. Most people get their insurance through their employer. If your employer doesn't offer insurance, you have to buy it yourself on the open market. You basically have no bargaining power when you buy it yourself. However, if you and others like you formed an association, that association could then negotiate directly with the insurance companies for better rates because you are no longer a single entity wanting to buy insurance. Makes sense now?
