Instead of working to reopen the government and lower health care costs, House Republicans are taking their FOURTH week of vacation.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.
$22,000.
That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

Raises the debt ceiling $5Trillion.

The chaos this creates for those of us that actually camp in national parks is going to be nuts. It was already pretty difficult to get a site but now it is compounded by the ineptitude of this administration.
Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.
