Both parties are playing chicken. Just wait until the unpaid air traffic controllers cripple the air transportation system. The Dems have a point if the Republicans wait until the end of the year, and open enrollments, many won't know the cost of their health insurance or just lose it entirely.
Health insurance needs to be discussed! If the Republicans think ACA is horrible -- fine! They claim to have been working on an alternative since when... when donald was in office the first time? So where the heck is there plan? Put it on the table and show why it is better.

@VeronicaJane theres definitely precedence for that obama passed his bs aca that way

@Mountainlady16 but my point here is that situations like the current one led to both the french and russian revolutions
@Mountainlady16 as I said, neither party is blameless.
1) Not saying what the Dems want for healthcare is right. But it is an issue that needs to be discussed. If the republicans (and I use that term lightly - Uncle Ronnie probably rolling in his grave) have a better healthcare plan - great. PUT it on the table and discuss it.
2) If the republicans can pass the bill without a single dem vote, why haven't they and avoided the Gov't shutdown?

@newjaninev2 president trump is not a king and its schumer holding up the bill

@Mountainlady16King Donald has neutered Congress and corrupted SCOTUS.
He reigns alone from his throne room (the former Oval Office) and is currently destroying as much of America's democracy and history as possible and as quickly as possible.
It's government by edict (executive order) and social media.
Meanwhile he's building the crass and gaudy Marie Antoinette Ballroom as a monument to his unchecked power and will soon extend the construction of his palace over the bones of America's abandoned democracy.
After 250 years Americans once again serve a mad king.
