On that note, the downside to being considered an essential asset is that we can't take any leave.. so the leave I had planned for the week of the 14th may get canceled, if this damn shut down is still ongoing. Which if that's the case, it means we won't be paid yet either. Which will make me a pretty unhappy camper.

I suggest that you find out who your local representative is and politely explain your situation before you shank the shit out of him or her.

If the fuckin republicans push this shit too far and then get voted out of office and then we get gun laws forced on us, I am going to be fuckin pissed. You aren't going to change Obamacare right now, give it the fuck up.... What you are going to get, is get voted out of office and then we get all of the Democrat wet dreams put in place like they did with Obamacare thanks to Bushy...

Could have been worse. You could have gotten an actual single payer medicare system instead of the watered down shit that you got.

Oh..... wait.....

My insurance is actually really good, much better than what my Dad receives in Canada. Of course he has American insurance that blows mine out of the water as well for when he is in the States. If I get thrown into Obamacare, I will be pissed.

This is my biggest fear.

It's over....we're already fooked (Obamacare) so stop showboating! In just a few months time we'll ALL see how bad of an idea this package is, and when it's grossly underfunded the whole country will turn on Obama.

All they're doing now is turning straight party voters against them too.

I'm in the "wait and see" phase on Obamacare, but I agree with this point completely. Republicans have been mismanaging every fight they've taken on since President Obama was elected (or about a year before, if you count McCain's pathetic excuse for a campaign). It's like the '08 election took the brains out of their sails.

My question is, if the republicans are so sure the ACA is bad and wont work right, then they should let it be implemented and when it fails come in and clean up the mess. I really think that they are worried that it would work right.

On a side note, my sister in law is trying to get coverage in FL and they want to charge her $600/mo for a family of 4, FL being one of the states that didnt agree to the federal funding. as a test she put in NJ, and the same plan through the same company came to $190/mo with federal assistance because NJ is particpating.
