She is concerned only now about Medicaid expansion because ONLY now it affects someone in her immediate family.

I know she said she's a registered Democrat but what votes did she make in the past where she might
have affected other peoples who weren't as lucky as her in her position in life.

Don't always just think of your self .....

They are anti- stem cell...until someone they know gets paralyzed.
They are anti- FEMA until the storm hits their house.

and so on.

Too bad these people couldn't put themselves in other people's shoes BEFORE it happens to someone they know.

I seconded your righteous rant

I just wish everyone in our country could just put them selves in other peoples
shoes and life conditions just for one day.



What a better country it would be.
