Will a shut down of the government make a difference?

You and I are aware of the current state of the battle of the budget in DC. Republicans want to defund  Obama Care. They want to do this by attaching it to a current bill to fund the government for a year. Is this a realistic method of getting what they want? You should have to decide for yourself .Read the following articles and let me know where you stand. First link is http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/15/news/economy/defunding-obamacare/index.html and http://www.redstate.com/2013/08/14/the-people-support-defunding-obamacare/. I will tell you where I stand on this issue and that is I want it to be tabled. Stop everything and lets do healthcare the right way. Free market will reduce the cost of the plans and also will allow you to make  better decisions as a consumer when you can see the differences in policies. I do not like the idea of the government having their hand in My healthcare at all. So in saying that I would say that defunding Obama Care is a way to open the eyes of those who have not paid attention to the issue.Will it make a difference? I don't know, but it gets the issue out there and in your face, so there will be a discussion.

Fund the Country or defund Obama Care

In the news, we have see a lot of events unfold.  But have you noticed the house passed the stop-gap bill that defunds Obamacare?  Have you noticed the coverage on the news networks?  For those who do not know,  there are efforts to do away with the Affordable Care Act and how Republicans are trying to defund it by attaching it to a bill that would keep the government up and running for the next year.  The bill is a bandaid to keep the government running without a budget in place.  FYI: there has not  been a budget in place since President Obama has been in office, they have been sent to the Senate and House, but not voted on.

In a piece in USA Today linked here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/09/20/house-republicans-defund-obamacare-shutdown/2842199/.  It speaks of how the battle between the two parties over the Affordable Care Act now comes into effect; the budget and how we pay for the bills of the country.  Read the Article and you form your own opinion.
