This is a big turning point. As long as they had federal workers on board, it could go on. Now, they'll have to fold. They will ideally make such a big deal of the ACA subsidies that the GOP will have to provide something for the open enrollment period.

Let's be clear: I want them to hold the line. However, I doubt they'll be able to keep everyone in line with this union asking them to fold.
