    The Republicans are trying to take away health insurance from ~42 million lower income Americans by making it cost many, many times the amount it does now.

    Trump has been bullshitting us about his big new plan to replace Obamacare for 9 or more years now, but he’s obviously never even thought about it. So he’s just killing it, and fucking over Americans who need it.

    The democrats refused to accept this, and this led to a government shutdown when the Republicans became obstinant and refused to bargain. That shutdown is going to end now because the democrats just caved. They received nothing, and those 42 million Americans are now fucked.
