Few will shed any tears for insurance companies — but John Q Public is about to get clobbered again, thanks to a taxpayer bailout of the insurers written into the ObamaCare law.

Teachers unions supply the Democratic Party with money and foot soldiers. But if Democrats intend to make income inequality their issue in 2014 and 2016, they will have to give up their slavish devotion to these unions, which deny inner-city kids a shot at a quality education and an escape route from poverty.
