In reply to the discussion: One of the millions of Republicans who could lose Obamacare has a question for her governor [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)she was loudly opposed to any and everything liberal; but mostly, the federal government's interference in private businesses (regulation - hiss, hiss) and "ObumaCare (hiss, hiss)" ... until she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she had to threaten a lawsuit (at this liberal's urging) for her employer's refusal to provide her with Family Medical Leave (a federal protection).
And then, again, when at the 12 week and one day mark, when she lost her job (and health care insurance), she was able to access insurance through "ObumaCare", at significantly less than she was paying through COBRA.
And how, again, when she is engaged in a lawsuit (in federal court) because her former employer refused to hire her back into an advertised position (that was exactly what she had been doing for the company before her illness) because, "
they) need someone they can count on being there long-term ... who knows when (her) cancer might return?"
Now, she is an activist for liberal causes. (I welcomed her into the boat ... and didn't even remind her that if left to her pre-conversion mindset, there wouldn't be a boat to climb in to.)
