We’ve got a lot of questions marks ahead of us this year when it comes to healthcare. What will happen with the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, Medicaid, Planned Parenthood, etc. etc.

The future of healthcare under the new administration is a big unknown. But one thing we do know - healthcare costs far too much.
