My daughter is self employed and purchases health insurance through the ACA exchange. With the amount that she earns she qualifies for a decent credit, losing that will be a huge hit to her ability to keep her business going.

I'm totally pissed off by this, while I understand the Democratic position of forcing Magat Senators into the uncomfortable position of voting against the best interest of the American people I still think it would have been a better strategy to hold out.
