US consumer watchdog says it is legally blocked from accessing funds
The top U.S. consumer watchdog said on Monday it was legally prohibited from drawing cash from the Federal Reserve to support continuing operations, but that its current funding should last through the end of this year "at least."

For all the people who keep saying, "yeah, but I would never vote for him because he said XYZ on a podcast". Come TF on, that's why we are where we are! The Republicans don't give one shit about you. We have a 2 party system for now. Like it or not, one is better than the other. Grow up.

I think that is what is getting lost in all this. We keep talking about premiums going up. That's the least of it. Once they repeal the ACA -- that mandate goes away.
At that point, when you become a liability whether its sickness or accident, the insurance company just cancels your policy.

3. Republicans were playing good cop, bad cop, crazy cop.
Good cop: Senate Republicans
Bad cop: House Republicans (Johnson)
Crazy cop: Russ Vought + Trump
Vought's plan was always to use impoundment/rescissions/starving people + firing feds to force Dems to surrender on the power of the purse.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
