When will people start dying in the streets? 😲

My wife hasn't had health coverage for the past 10 years. Most people don't really need it. The probability of actually needing health care insurance is pretty low for those between 20 and 50.

The government shut down means nothing to a vast majority of people. Even if people lost their government health care for a period of time, most wouldn't notice it.

Originally posted by sh76Perhaps whodey is suggesting that people should be helped to die, whodey secretly craves a government shutdown because he wants the left-wing radicals to takeover Congress, this will be the perfect excuse for the tea party brown shirts to emerge from the shadows and retaliate with violence, its going to be the Reichstag fire all over again.
Nobody's dying because of a government shut down.
On the contrary, the decrease in traffic of government employees might actually save a few people.
