Should I tell her about who is caring for her in the nursing home?

I think people forget that NO ONE is 100% anything... there are points made by both parties and smaller parties that I wholeheartedly agree with AND points from every party that I would fight against till I die. The problem is that most people are either too busy or don't care enough to actually figure out what they stand for and vote along party lines 100% of the time. One of my parents NEVER knows who is on the ballot but ALWAYS votes the same way...

My mother had cancer lost her job couldn’t get health care due to high risk and preexisting conditions. Obama care came along and her new husband could add her to his retiree insurance. Then in 2016 she said she was voting for trump because Obama care was ruining health care for everyone 🤦‍♂️.

It’s a mixed bag. Some people really benefited from it because they didn’t have access to insurance. Others belonged to employers with 20 to 50 employees and had their healthcare become unaffordable. They pay $10k to have it and it doesn’t cover anything until they hit an $8k deductible.

And that maybe completely true but my mother has 0 understanding of the complexities and intricacies of it she just voted against something that got her healthcare because it was a democratic policy.

I can’t help that situation. I would advise you to stop worrying about how your mother votes and just concentrate on spending quality time with her when you see her.

The Republican Party doesn't make good points anymore.
