GOP grows uneasy over voters' health care premiums amid shutdown standoff

3. The GOP is growing uneasy? Are you kidding?

We're talking about a life and death issue for millions of Americans, and they're uneasy?
This is the most important issue in the lives of these people. The GOP needs to realize how much their lack of compassion for their fellow citizens is causing fear, worry, anxiety, and emotional suffering for these people.
The ACA subsidies are only part of the whole thing. Medicare, Medicaid, and eventually Social Security are at stake here.
This is about one party that lacks love; that thinks Empathy is toxic; that doesn't care even the least bit about anyone who doesn't have the ability to enrich the GOP.
I can't imagine how callous the GOP party has become. It's beyond my ability to fathom their distain for those Americans who need help and aren't able to cope with the problems in their lives.
They have abandoned tens of millions of Americans in favor of a few thousand very rich people who give them money in return for making them richer.

It's evil in it's primal, most despicable form.
