Sounds like Democrats are stupid to give Trump what he wants by not voting for the current bill.[/quote]

The entire point of Republicans shutting down the government and not paying federal employees is because they want to destroy the Affordable Care Act. They very well know that increasing premiums by a 100 percent will force people off health insurance. And Republicans love that. Because Republicans are not good people.

I think this shutdown will last a long time. Republicans control everything - the House, the Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court. They seem very determined to deny health care to Americans who don't work for the government or a Fortune 500 company. Because Republicans are... unpleasant human beings.

In the end, once air traffic controllers go two months without being able to pay the mortgage and are forced to become UberEats drivers to sustain their families, it'll stop. Banks don't give a damn if you are federal employee. They'll take your house in a heartbeat.

This country shuts down when you can't move. The air traffic controllers are the ones who will decide when this stupidity ends. And meanwhile, these air traffic controllers and other essentials need to figure out how to live.

I cannot begin to express how much I loathe Mike Johnson and his swarmy cynicism. [/quote]

They want to destroy ACA but don't have anything to replace it.  Trump promised a "great" plan that would "cover everyone" all the way back in 2015.  Where is it?  When he got elected again for his second term, he was asked, and all he said was that he has a "concept of a plan" - in other words, nothing.

If the Republicans force this and get their way it means millions of Americans will start seeing huge price increases and will likely lose their health insurance.  And a majority of those people are in red states, Trump voters.  Trump and Johnson and Thune and the rest are throwing millions of their own biggest supporters under the bus. [/quote]

the reason the GOP doesn't have a replacement is because the ACA is the GOP solution. The problem is that it was passed by Obama and the dems. [/quote]

Obamacare is a GOP solution?

Not one republican voted for it.[/quote]

The ACA was based on "Romneycare" in Massachusetts:

Romneycare was based on a framework designed by think tank wonks at the Heritage Foundation in 1989:

And that shows you how much Republicans have gone far right and have become unable to govern. [/quote]
