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.
