I don&#x27;t think your employer would either, no matter who they are. They will take advantage of the system like everyone else. We all benefit from roads, power, water, etc. Bernie is trying to <i>reduce the cost of health care</i> by taking profits out by controlling the costs. If you have an organization that is paying for 300+ million people&#x27;s insurance, that organization has tremendous leverage. I understand that this is a very complex subject, but that&#x27;s his position and I support it too. In other words, Bernie sees health care as an investment, in the infrastructure of the well-being of the American people. (I think this last sentence is poorly worded but I gave it my best effort)<p>(added, post edit) Also, the masses will benefit tremendously from it. He estimates about a $4,000 yr savings for middle class. You might not get any benefits from your employer but you&#x27;re not voting for your employer, you&#x27;re voting for your rights (Bernie says health care is a right).<p>As for this:
&gt; &#x27;such a policy shift could happen purely from the POTUS&#x27;
That&#x27;s never been Bernie&#x27;s rally cry. He&#x27;s calling for a political revolution. Essentially, for young voters and progressives to actively engage in the political system and to vote for progressives (and to encourage others to do so as well).<p>This is a solid video about it all by Robert Reich: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VfIhonVoFSg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=VfIhonVoFSg</a>
