Not true. The majority of we the people do not oppose AHCA.
Congress has health care benefits. Why not we the people?
The AHCA is a start. Let's not kill it before it has a chance to work.
Meawhile Congress should pass a budget to fully fund the government without any stings attached instead of holding we the people hostage.

"The American people are the ones who are damaged by this......"
SOLUTIONS:
1. A Constitutional Amendment for Term Limits on all politicians and judges, meanwhile
2. During the next election and every election thereafter vote out all incumbents.

Let me see if I this right. The House has approved a bill to give the 800,000 furloughed GOVERNMENT employees back pay when they return to work. So....they are getting a paid vacation at the expense of the taxpayer. Congress did not give one thought to the damage that will be done to business that depend on things such as our national parks and national recreational areas. 30% of the county where I live is in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The very livelihood of the businesses in areas such as Townsend, TN are dependent upon the park and now it is closed in the peak season resulting in layoffs of hotel and restaurant workers. WHO is going give the their BACK PAY

Would it not make sense that if we are going to pay the government workers anyway that should at least go back to work? This is another example of the stupidity of those that we elected to run our country.

This whole issue is over Republican vs Democrat. And of course, there is that idiot Obama who does not know whether to crap or wind his watch, refusing to compromise in any manner whatsoever. The Dems are protecting a flawed health care plan that is destined to failure and refusing any compromise offered by the Republicans. An agreement by the Democrats to delay the individual mandate would put an immediate end to this madness. But bonehead Reid refuses even to put that compromise before the Senate!

This is nothing more than a political attack on the American people by a childish and selfish group of empty headed idiots in Washington who are totally out of touch with the real world.

The American people are the ones who are damaged by this but no one that works for the government will be harmed.

Slavery was the law of the land, too. Saying that is just parroting nonsense. The authority to fund, or not fund, the ACA is given to Congress by the Constitution, which happens to be the supreme law of the land. So it is completely lawful and constitutional for congress to choose what to fund. Much the same way Obama has the power to choose which laws to enforce.
As for anti-democratic, absolutely! And I am extraordinarily glad for it. Democracies, as our founders knew, are just a vehicle for mob rule. That's why we have a republic.

As is the case with most liberals, you have a complete failure to understand. If the ACA is the LAW then how did Obama change a part of it all by himself (the employer mandate)? And BTW, the Supreme Court DID NOT uphold the law, they only ruled that the penalty is a TAX. Go do your homework.

This shutdown is on the shoulders of an unyielding Democrat majority in the senate who refuses to even delay the individual mandate. Let's see...it's OK if Obama wants to delay a part of the law, but it is NOT OK if the Republicans want to delay a part of the law. You simply don't get it! Oh...and the American people did not pass the ACA by reelecting Obama. The majority of the American people oppose ACR...that is a fact.

You forgot the part where the Republicans can't decide whether to fight each other or the Democrats. I'm really getting tired of the escalated bickering of both parties over the last several years, but the Republican in-house fighting has gotten to the point where they have been completely incapable of providing a candidate that does not appear to be a joke compared to the Democrat candidate. Frankly, I attribute that alone to be the primary reason Obama is in office. It's not looking promising for the next election either.
