The Mahdi did the shutdown to preserve MahdiCare (it’s proper name since he is the Mahdi). No matter how inept the Pubbies are, it’s doubtful that he’ll be able to duck responsibility for the fact that his pure, spiteful intransigence is what brought this horror to our door steps.
1. On Jan. 1st, there ain't gonna be NEAR the 7 million YOUNG people signed up that they need to fund the program.
2. The web site MIGHT not even be operational by Dec. 15th, so those people being dropped by insurance companies as of Jan. 1st won't have any insurance.
3. Companies are going to drop their healthcare plans for their employees, forcing them on to the government plans or to buy their own insurance - but the employees may not be able to sign up, if #2 [above] is true.
4. People who currently buy their own private insurance are going to see their premiums double or triple - and their deductable rise at about the same percentage.
5. People who DO get insurance are THEN going to find that they can't use their own doctor AND that their treatment facilities may be 50 miles away.
6. Companies are going to shed workers to get below the 50-employee limit, and those that remain are going to 29 hours per week [to get under the full-time status limit] - resulting in lost jobs and lower paychecks.

When this happens, all the GOP will have to say to the American Public is:
"We tried to kill Obamacare and the government shutdown was the ONLY tool we had to try and repeal it. WE lost - which means YOU lost, and now you know it. If you're going to blame anyone - blame the DEMS"
This guy has the brains of a turnip and the arrogance of Malcolm X who looks like his Daddy.
Should have hired a 16 year old hacker for $40 dollars.
He's not acting: he is an azzhole!!
