I never understood that putting between the knees thing. You just bend over a bit and there's access. How do they think women are built? I think this goes back to some people are really stupid? Or don't think? Or?

I had lunch today with my uber conservative mom. I brought this issue up - and honestly she had NO IDEA that healthcare plans weren't always including maternity coverage until Obamacare mandated it. Well, they always did back when I had you guys! was her response. Well, in that 25 years since you had your last baby, a LOT changed. Pre-existing condition exclusions means my sister that had cancer as a child can't get coverage on her own. Mom said it was fine because sis has a good job. Um, what if she gets laid off? What about my nieces & nephews born 3 months early and spent about $1M on EACH for healthcare for the first year of their lives? No more coverage for them if the lifetime cap is put back in place. She kept insisting that the Republicans really weren't going to get rid of those three things, it was just the other "bad" stuff from Obamacare. I swear we are related!

My mom is the same way and not only about healthcare. When I was struggling to make ends meet after my ex left she tells me to just go apply for child support. I'm like, um....mom...he's living in the woods with no job. She insisted that the welfare system paid the child support if the father couldn't/wouldn't. Because...you know...the damn liberal entitlement programs she was paying for. Her daughter should at least benefit. Then she tells me to get food stamps. I tell her I don't qualify making 38K. She says "oh, you must, you have 2 kids! No mom, you have to be really poor. I'm pretty certain I never convinced her that I didn't just blow off a bunch of government handouts.
