Sometimes it's just not worth trying to explain

My grandmother (step-grandmother, really) on the health insurance debate: "I just don't know. I don't like socialized medicine."

Me: "Um, [M], do you know where your insurance comes from?"

My grandmother: "I don't have to pay a thing now. But it's good I got all my limbs replaced before this all started. They wouldn't do that after they change things."

Me: *sigh*

My step-grandmother, who has no resources other than her stepsons' support and her social security payment, is insured through Medicare. I tried repeatedly to explain to her that she already has government-sponsored insurance, and that health care reform means expanding government-sponsored insurance, but I think she's taken too many doses of Fox News to understand me.
