What would repealing the Affordable Care Act without more than a concept of a plan look like?

Before the ACA became law in 2010, insurance was expensive and often hard to obtain. Most policies didn’t cover pre-existing conditions.
We need to push to rein in ICE.

Yup, that's why I posted the gift link. All the "Abolish ICE" bone heads don't understand that train has left the station. Did you see where DHS' Office of Civil Rights will be shut down? You know, the ones responsible for investigating civil rights violations committed by ICE? 😬

Thank you for posting that article.

Now I know that ICE is drowning in cash, so its campaign of murderous terror across America will continue unabated. However, TSA will be working without pay, so our flights are gonna be all screwed up. The Coast Guard is unfunded, too.

I'm just so frustrated with people so cavalierly demanding thousands of people work without pay indefinitely. Especially in this case where ICE & CBP are so well funded through last year's reconciliation, they would get paid regardless of how long a shutdown lasted.

For everyone rooting for a shutdown, understand there is a $75B ICE and $65B CBP mandatory, multiyear funding package in place from last year's reconciliation bill. That means they both have enough $$$ to keep operating WITH pay throughout a shutdown. The more you know:

For the past couple of months, I’ve shared stories about Holocaust survivors and rescuers whose lives reflect survival, witness, and moral clarity. Gerda Weissmann Klein’s story shows how memory, love, and responsibility exist after unimaginable hardship and loss.
