A lengthy, detailed, terrifying article outlining what a Gov't shutdown would mean for Healthcare

Maybe Schumer and Jeffries need to bring sock puppets to tomorrow's meeting, so they can explain this in a way that Trump would understand.

There's no meaningful way to extract 4 paragraphs on this one. I encourage you to go to the link and read the whole article.

I could be wrong. I think that if most people WERE aware of the potential damage here, they'd be making some noise about it. They're not, at least not in the mainstream.

Not saying they’re wrong, but I’m holding this with some skepticism. Their wiki page highlights the billionaires and corporate behemoths that have benefited from RS litigation.
