US gov shutdown is life-or-death for some cancer patients, including children

Unfortunately I do follow the news.

Assertion. How do you know these this to be true. Markets are very complex until the law plays out no one knows if it will lead to better health outcomes.

There are many reasons people oppose the ACA.

Yes the republicans want to prevent the ACA from becoming a working law. So what? That’s how politics work.

You’re very rude. I am a more ethical person than people who advocate more state control. Both major parties are authoritarian. If you support either so are you. You may think that the ends justify the means but even if this is true you can’t have foreknowledge of the results/ends. So unethical means are unethical until proven otherwise.
I do take a side. Leave people the hell alone, let them decide how to run their lives, where to spend their money, what endeavors they’d like to support. I don’t pretend to knowledge I don’t have. Nor do I think forcing others to support my preferences, even if with good intentions, is virtuous.

Yeah, my policy was a fairly high deductible one *I’m self-employeed. But it had multiple physician visits per year, prescription benefits, emergency room benefits, ambulance, all sorts of things. Was $150 per month. Now $250, sweet!
