6. Thrown under the bus
I never financially planned to ever have to buy health insurance. I had it through the workplace while employed full time, but lost it when my work was cut back when federal project money was detoured to Iraq.

My fall back for healthcare was the VA, which guaranteed free-for-life healthcare if honorably discharged. What I never expected was the government breaking their word to veterans, but then again I never envisioned 2 yellow-bellied draft-dodging cowards in the WH stripping vets of benefits.

Once I found out my vet healthcare was no more, Mittens passes a mandated health insurance scam here in Mass, in essence saying, "hey you stupid vet, you can't go around without health insurance or I will fine you."

It is no wonder I'm livid about Hillarycare mandates, when she never took the time to fight to restore veterans health care benefits.
