It was ALWAYS a larger issue than the shut down.
Voters from both parties don’t want to see their health insurance premiums go up in January. With the shutdown over, Congress needs to come together to find the solution. Americans deserve affordable healthcare.

Matt Stoller: How 'oligarchs' and 'extraction' fueled America's housing crisis
Home ownership is now out-of-reach for many Americans. “Homes are for people to live in,” says Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project, but he warns big landlords are "building homes for money, not people." President Trump claims to care about home affordability, but Stoller insists his administration is actually "on the side of oligarchs."

Democrats have put forward a petition to force a House vote on a three-year extension of the health care savings millions of Americans rely on.
Many of my Republican colleagues have said they'd support a deal on health care once the government reopened.
Now's their chance.

The shutdown has gone on so long, we've run out of clever ways to say it, so we'll just say it: Federal workers have been locked out or working with no pay for over a month. The Trump admin and their allies in Congress must fund the government and fix the health care crisis NOW.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
