(1,146 posts)She's always been against AHA. She and her husband are rabid tea baggers, calling Obama a "socialist, communist, marxist, maoist" etc. since day one. Yesterday during a family Easter get together, Her 21 year old son who recently got married and is self-employed, announced that his new bride was pregnant. Her son and daughter-in-law's heath insurance are covered under the Obama health care for children to age 26 provision. During a discussion about the financial strain that the new baby was going to put her son and daughter-in-law, she said that if they repeal Obama care, the kids were going to be "screwed". I sarcastically told her that if they do, "they can always go to the emergency room, because we got the best health care in the world". She just gave me mean stare and continued on her rant, totally oblivious to the fact that she gave me the same argument, a few hers ago, during the health care debate. That being said, I don't think she and her husband will vote for Obama, but I do think that they will sit this one out.
