[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens to healthcare if paychecks are held hostage?[/quote]

LOL, you’ll never see the cries for capitulation come so fast if some old Dems think they’ll have to miss a doctor’s appointment![/quote]

So you'd be ok being uninsured and your kids being uninsured?  Having a medical emergency while uninsured could be financially catastrophic.  I doubt the question was about missing an appointment.  [/quote]
This story about an air traffic controller who might have to pay hefty bills for his prematurely born child because of the shutdown is troubling

Hmm I would have thought the shutdown would be the perfect time to have a child. Unlimited leave and for many - it’s going to be paid! [/quote]

Wow, this is what abstinence-only education looks like, huh? Do you think people called the stork on December 22 for overnight delivery?

Anyway, if you'd read, you'd see that the subject of the article is out of pocket for all hospital expenses for his newborn until pay is restored. That's tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. It doesn't say whether he's working unpaid but I assume he is, as he's an air traffic controller.  So no leave, no pay, and no insurance coverage right now. Sounds rosy.[/quote]
