If enough Republicans won't vote for the ACA subsidies now---with the shutdown pressure---why would they vote for it later? You are basically admitting it won't pass, and all you get is having the Republicans on the records with a vote...but that doesn't help anyone who has bills to pay.

With gratitude and delight, she fed her dog, she played with her dog, she dressed her dog, and she let her dog lick her and jump all over her. Every night, she told the dog her troubles---as she would have her own dad---before falling asleep with it in a snuggle.

Every day, he weighed his dog, and recorded how much the dog ate and drank. He read everything he could about dog breeds, dog care, and dog diseases. He planned that when the dog died, he would dissect it, reassemble the skeleton, and label each of the bones.
