What does it mean exactly? (...she'll be big with health care after she has...) #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 01, 2008 16:38 pm   What does it mean exactly? (...she'll be big with health care after she has...)
 

I was listening to my local radio station, and heard of a man asking an interviewee with this question:
"...do you think she'll be big with health care after she has become the CEO..."
I have looked it up into an online dictionary,
and it has this example sentence: "be big with a child" meaning pregnant.
But the example actually makes me feel so confused even more than ever...

Could someone help explain what the interviewer asked in the radio please?

The question meant, "Do you think she'll be an enthusiastic supporter of healthcare after she has become CEO?"
