Yes, and that is why there are 30 million in need of health care assistance.
And that is what % of the american population? |

It's a large enough percentage if you're one of them. |

Or if you are the one whose hours were reduced to 29 hours and booted onto the exchange. |

The list of companies cutting 40 hour jobs to part time jobs or just eliminating company sponsored health insurance is growing every day. Obama and Tonko have been a disaster for working Americans. |

If the government is "we", does that mean we all shut down? |

Rep. Dennis Ross (R-FL) admitted to National Journal the budget showdown isn't a winner for the Republican party and that Obamacare would be implemented despite GOP efforts.
Said Ross: "Ultimately that's going to happen, in my opinion. We have voted 41 times to defund it or get rid of it. If my people back home say: Oh my gosh you voted to fund Obamacare, so be it. We've lost this battle. We need to move on to the next one." |

As the government shutdown gets merged with the upcoming fight to raise the debt ceiling, a new CNN poll finds that 56% of Americans said it would be a bad thing if the debt ceiling was not raised, with 38% saying it would be a good thing for the country.
If the debt ceiling isn't raised: 53% would blame Republicans 31% would blame President Obama. |

“Two basic facts” that are worth keeping in mind as the shutdown stretches into its second day.
Quoted Text
“1. If the House of Representatives voted on a ‘clean’ budget bill — one that opened up the closed federal offices but did not attempt to defund the Obama health care program – that bill would pass, and the shutdown would be over. Nearly all Democrats would vote for it, as would enough Republicans to end the shutdown and its related damage.”
“2. So far House Speaker John Boehner has refused to let this vote occur. His Tea Party contingent knows how the vote would go and therefore does not want it to happen; and such is Boehner’s fear of them, and fear for his job as Speaker, that he will not let it take place.”

What an embarrassment...Apparently the only thing that bonds Americans together is a Federal Government. If the federal government shuts down, Americans are divided. Ignore the antics of the federal government and go help your neighbor, regardless of party affiliation. What a disgrace this nation has become. |

Again, Cicero has it backwards. The TeaBaggers in the GOP have shut down govt. They cannot accept that a black man is the US President. They never got over that FACT and that FACT was reinforced when he was reelected in '12. Americans are united in their support of ObamaCare which they will make abundantly clear in the 2014 elections. Can you imagine the GOP TeaBaggers running on a campaign of: "Vote for us, we want to take away your health insurance!" |

Each week that Republican politicians refuse to end the shutdown of the federal government results in 200 cancer patients being unable to enroll in treatment programs at the National Institutes of Health, 30 of them children.
The NIH Clinical Center is often the last hope of very ill patients. |
