My wife was raised in South King County and has a large extended family that still resides there. While enjoying a community event there last weekend, one of her cousins (by marriage) told me how Obamacare allowed her twenty-something daughter to be covered under her parents' health insurance. Later, facing a diagnosis of a life-threatening condition requiring major surgery and recovery, their daughter was able to receive the care she needed without having to pay out of pocket medical fees of over $500,000.

I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.
