Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSean Duffy resigning - why is he resigning when his family needs health insurance coverage the most?
His horrid demagogue wife works at Fox -- is that where they get their health insurance???
Seriously - I'd expect an employer like Fox to fire her under these circumstances (extended maternity leave, child with special and expensive health care needs). Just look how Fox treats women who work there.
Most people with sick children can't quit their jobs unless independently wealthy because they need the health insurance the employer provides. Plus they have like 7 or 8 other kids who I assume need regular health care coverage as well.
Someone needs to ask him about this.

Thanks to Obama, he can purchase insurance even with his child's serious pre-existing condition.

Maybe he's having nightmares about the public hanging GOP folk from trees on the Mall?

Is he on friendly terms with Paul Ryan?
