Subject: Re: The missing word from this shutdown story ...
I have been saying from the start the number of people impacted by the ACA cut is too small, vs the impact of a shut-down.

Plus, the Republicans will likely be willing to extend the enhanced subsidies in some form because it affects their supporters in red states.

Democrats had to be seen to be doing something, I guess. It sucks.

I need to go on a trip this week. Would normally fly, but don't want to deal with delays. I'm driving.
