Filling out ins. forms for my newly graduated daughter THANKS TO THE DEMS!

[K8-EEE]

My brilliant 20 year old daughter graduated a year early (with honors, thank you very much!!) and if it wasn't for the President and the Dems it would be like, "Congratulations, you're uninsured!" Not having to pay COBRA really means a lot to my family (especially after the expense of college!) and I am really grateful that she can stay on our insurance til she HOPEFULLY defies the trend and lands a decent job with decent benefits. At least it gives young adults a fighting chance.

4. Thank you! She has an interview at a non-profit

That has OK type HMO bennies after 3 months I think.....she is excited about the work as it involves legal advocacy for disadvantaged people, she is a Politics major and hoping to go to law school in the next couple of years and she would like to be a human rights advocate. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

5. Tell her to google a bit about law school.

Not necessarily the best career choice, at the moment. Congrats to her, though!

9. Luckily she is planning on taking time off to save up for it so

I'm hoping she will find a niche without it -- she says that if she wants to be a policy analyst or speech writer the degree would help, she really is not interested so much in being a lawyer as much as having the skills to analyze things and write from a legal perspective.

2. Yay,, congrats to both of you!

You must be really proud of her and relieved she'll be taken care of for now.

6. Congrats to your daughter, and best of luck in her job search.

I'm glad she's insured, too.

7. I dunno...sounds like SOCIALISM to me...

Why can't she pull herself up by her own bootstraps?

8. I know right?? And if she had a health crisis

she could have a big garage sale or barter chickens with the doctor!
