[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the government shut down? I got mail. It seems like a big nothingburger.[/quote]

Got my SS check, Medicare and the planes are flying. The government does nothing. Shut it down and fire everyone![/quote]

So you are happy for what you got from the government but f*ck everyone else.

No food or healthcare for kids. No research. No parks. No weather forecasting.

Just like a republican.[/quote]

DP.  [b]I'm tired of money getting taken out of my pay check for health insurance subsidies for complete strangers.[/b]

The HC industry is holding this country hostage.  We spend 17% of GDP on HC.  The next closest countries, Germany and the UK spend 10% to 11%.

Most other countries spend 6% to 7%.  Why are we an outlier?  There's practically no competition here.  Just govt writing checks to pharma, hospitals and medical establishments.  And people paying hefty friggin' premiums.

And democrats are right at the front of the line saying we need to spend more and more. Enough already.[/quote]

I think we all agree that our healthcare system is a disaster. In the short term, we're all going to be paying more out of pocket if those subsidies are canceled. [/quote]
