2. Well, my son, a staunch PUB :( just had to apply for ObamaCare.

He worked in Sicily for the last 11 years, but the contract was won by some other company and he & his wife had to come home to the States. He had been told how HARD it was to get through the signup process and that the insurance was shit, but he had no other choice. He checked some plans online, but I convinced him to call the 800# to make sure he understood the whole plan. I had even prepared him for a long wait because of my past experience helping a cousin sign up back in December.

SURPRISE! He only waited about 3 minutes, and a very professional agent came on the line. He was VERY knowledgeable and explained several options to my son. The entire process took about 15 mins. and My son is very happy with the result.

Knowing how much he dislikes Dems, I HAD to ask if he would at least admit ObamaCare was a big help to him. He smiled, and said "Yea, I'm happy. It was a lot easier than I was lead to believe, and worked out much better for us than everyone said It would."

I'm MILES away from changing him from a RED PUB, but while he's staying with us, I'm making sure he hears all the stupid things the Pubs continue to say, and how most of what he's been told are lies. I hope he gets another job soon, for their sake, but I also hope I have long enough to give him insight into the insanity of the Pub Party!
