General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I can not have a friend who is a Republican.. [View all]brush
(53,776 posts)I just joined a business networking group to help grow my small business (I got laid off in my state's budget crunch last year).
One of the members got up in the meeting yesterday and said that we all better get ready because prices for our insurance is about to go thru the roof because of Obamacare. Which is just the opposite of what I'd been reading here and from other sources recently which say that the prices have been shown to be considerably lower than present prices.
I listen to progressive satellite radio and there have been numerous callers who say their premium costs will be cut by two thirds hundreds of dollars a month they can use somewhere else.
This incident, along with another (one of the members got up and read a quote of Richard Nixon's) in the networking meeting made me realize that most of the people in the group were probably republicans.
I'm or course aware of, just as on the job, not to talk about religion or politics but I'm still not sure if I'll be able to stay in the group with most of the people having such a different world view.
