It's not a shutdown according to Foxnews, it's a slimdown. Because if you phrase it better, you can work dumb marks all day. As an outsider, I see Republicans/Tea party at fault, because they wanted to shut down government because Affordable healthcare was coming and it seems they just don't want people to be able to afford health services for roughly $50 a month.
I honeslty don't see what the dealis about universal healthcare, if you ask anyone from any country that has it, are they going to say they want American style healthcare that requires insurance or your fucked, or you will have to pay an arm and a leg for literally an arm and a leg.
As a Canadian, I busted up my collarbone, and I got it operated on and still have a plate on it to this day, and it didn't cost me anything, the insurance I also had made sure I was fine when I wasn't able to work. If I was American, the surgery would put me in the poorhouse and send my insurance skyhigh and not be able to have any.
