State Health Exchanges are Coming Online

Well our government is shutdown while the manchildren of the GOP pout. Their ideas are so politically toxic to the vast majority of Americans that they have reduced the popularity of congress to 9%.  Some people will stop receiving checks and services immediately.  Say goodbye to many federally-funded Meals on Wheels programs, if you have an elderly neighbor or relative you would be a good person to call them up and make sure they aren't going to have Ms. Mittens with a side of NyQuil to make it through the first US Federal shutdown in 17 years.  The last one being when the GOP wanted to cut major funding to medicare, the EPA, The Department of Education and various other popular programs.

"When Clinton refused to cut the budget in the way Republicans wanted, Gingrich threatened to refuse to raise the debt limit, which would have caused the United States Treasury to suspend funding other portions of the government to avoid putting the country in default."
