    Amy: “I don’t want my taxes going up!”

    “Yes, your taxes will go up but you won’t have to pay for insurance or at the doctor’s office. How much are you paying now?”

    Amy: 😦

    She had no clue how much her family’s insurance ran.

    Next day she was outside my office complaining to her friend that she couldn’t afford her $1,000 migraine shots.

    “How’s that private insurance workin’ out for ya!”

    Amy: 😦

    I’ll add that she was well off on her own and married into a very well off family who ran the business we worked at. Amy had Pretty Girl Syndrome so no one ever said “no” to her, let alone argued, always looked slapped when I did so. She was a great person in most ways, just horribly ignorant in others.
