[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's totally believable.  A clean CR would have avoided a shutdown while allowing for negotiations around Democratic political priorities.  Instead, blackmail was employed to try to force those priorities through without further negotiation.  It's a form of either extortion, or a negotiating tactic, depending on your perspective, but in either case it's attributable to the Democrats.  [/quote]

A clean CR would continue to fund existing programs.  What the Republicans are doing doesn't do that.  [b]It defunds existing ACA and Medicare programs, [/b]and that would hurt millions of Americans.[/quote]

New poster. Can you elaborate on how it does this? I’m not saying you’re wrong, and I don’t have a “team” here, but I’d heard it was pretty clean, and I’m interested to here the counter to that. [/quote]

It allows the subsidies to expire.  Enrollment period begins Nov 1 for ACA plans and price increase notifications have already been sent.  Insurance companies are dropping out of the exchange ( less choice) and anticipating that healthy people will skip buying insurance as there is no requirement any longer.  The travesty of a bill that was passed made so many more changes that will hurt everyday people it’s best if you just read it yourself and judge.

One thing the Dems are also insisting upon is to remove Voights power to unilaterally withhold appropriated dollars.

It is really sad MAGA forgets their compassion for Americans that have less.  Why don’t you want people to be healthy? [/quote]
