REFUSE to do anything about it that affects the ability to get health insurance without breaking the family budget.

Former Florida Representative Alan Grayson said it best on the House floor when the ACA was being debated in 2009, armed with his board..."The Republican Health Care plan is to NOT get sick! If you get sick, die quickly!"

THAT is what is going to happen with those who access Health Insurance via the ACA subsidies if there is no action on it. The sad truth is, more of THEIR constituents rely on those subsidies. People will die. Children? They will have this on their consciences.
