| pmtm... | Affordable healthcare should be a priority for the sake of millions |
| lynn... | No because The administration will do as they always do, go back on their word. |
| beij... | Healthcare is in trouble and suffering. We need help and support |
| dani... | What little help the government provides for health care should not be stripped away by Trump and his government to pay for tax subsidies for the rich. |
| milt... | Really? Trust Trump? Even his friends don’t trust him. Not funding healthcare is a winning issue. Time to play hard ball. |
| clca... | Oops no |
| aunt... | Keep it shut down until real deals are made that improve AMERICANS lives! Not illegal aliens lives! |
| luna... | Everyone deserves affordable healthcare. |
| pjpa... | No Schumer & Jeffrey’s can suffer the consequences |
| ther... | Democrats are out of control |
| jbla... | There is no assurance that the Republicans will negotiate in good faith. |
| clte... | Trump lie about everything and congress is the enabler |
| jorg... | J |
| bush... | Because Trump will backtrack. Obviously. |
| kare... | Only because the government should NEVER b shut down! Quit acting like spoiled brats and get to Your jobs(both sides) that you were elected to do. Other than that my answer would be NO and well if they aren’t there their voice/vote doesn’t count! |
| nanc... | Can’t trust this group of thugs to follow through. Keep the government closed and negotiate first. |
| kath... | This administration and the Republican Party cannot be trusted ! Get the law passed first! |
| deng... | It’s the only negotiating chip democrats have |
| gran... | There's no reason to believe the GOP will negotiate in good faith. |
| jewl... | My concern is Democrats agree to vote for CR now and open government- then when they go to negotiate healthcare subsidiaries the GOP go back on everything they discussed and demolish healthcare further causing increase uninsured and increase premiums I don’t trust the GOP |
| rlt4... | Glad to finally see the Democrats with some courage! |
| miah... | It’s only OK to use life threatening issues as political footballs if the left has something to gain from it. |
| jrv1... | This surprises me so many vote no. While financially, I am personally set, many government workers need a paycheck. And I am also one who subsidizes affordable care for illegal persons. |
| jaxl... | The dems are redunk- the affordable health care act is a joke. Stop funding illegals and their own pocket books. And stop paying Congress while the gov is shut down |
| pjca... | This is what the country voted for. If you want things your way wait till your guy gets voted in. |
| cesv... | Health care should be unconditional Tax breaks for the rich is nothing compared to health care subsidies |
| lora... | Subsidies are not good means for healthcare. ACA should be abolished and a new law should be put in place to allow Americans to have affordable healthcare. Subsidies will only kick the can down the road on the bad ACA legislature instigated by democrats. |
| ende... | If Trump were actually a deal maker and not a terrorist of conditions after the deal is made it would be a normal request but just like the changes he is making to different countries after the agreement of tariffs is in place he shows his word can’t be trusted |
| retc... | Health care for illegal individuals here should not be paid for by American citizens. End of story. Democrats continue to lie about what the health care issue really is. They don't care about American citizens they just want illegals to vote them into office to rape the American taxpayer |
| jgse... | I have had kidney disease since I was 6 years old and have had a kidney transplant. My employer utilizes subsidies to provide staff with health insurance. Without the ACA, I would not be able to purchase insurance due to my preexisting condition. I do not trust the government to keep the subsidies if the government reopens first. |
| jdhu... | Get to the negotiating table asap. This should not be construed as a win-lose issue! |
| jmla... | What kind of human being would vote against healthcare for other members of the community? Probably the the rich republicans who already have open access to all the healthcare they need and can afford and are devoid of empathy for those who cannot afford it! |
| yank... | Just get it done |
| dian... | I wouldn’t trust the government to keep it word about assuring Healthcare. |
| mind... | Healthcare should be a right not a privledge and it is too expensive.Negotiate first because the Trump regime cannot be trusted. |
| brad... | Trump has made clear that he’s not interested in working collaboratively with anyone, so Democrats should certainly not give him the benefit of the doubt. |
| arth... | Depends on how quickly they want the government reopened. The word is negotiations. They are always slow! |
| cind... | No. Protect Americans healthcare first. |
| lisa... | Once they reopen the GOP will go back to the same playbook and cut the subsidies. Don’t fall for it! |
| mark... | Trump and the Republicans cannot be trusted to negotiate after they get what they want. They can't be trusted, period. |
| ewal... | This game is just setting a standard for the next go around. Shut down the government over policy disagreements. |
| rser... | Trump and Republicans must stand up to "out of control" Democrats. |
| stac... | Keep up the good work, Anna. |
| shar... | This is all futile. The rest of us have no representation. The king does as he pleases with no effective pushback. Term limits for ALL, including the Supreme Court, all of the men are probably on the Epstein list, and that is why they approve human rights violations. And shame on the military for kissing the ring. |
| mrse... | There is a looming healthcare crisis that will affect literally millions of Americans. Congress needs to fix this immediately! |
| cger... | Progressive Leftist Democrats are holding the country hostage so that they can spend All American tax payer's money to "buy" votes from illegal aliens. They are despicable |
| mart... | Republicans only know how to play hardball. To agree to open the government first means LOSING healthcare. |
| nord... | I feel this shutdown is political vs. policy. Both sides need to start working together, give and take! Argue it out on the floor. Stop the hate messages |
| thez... | Once open, this administration will take it as a "win/mandate" and will not work to ensure people retain their health care. They have made it cost prohibitive for anyone, not earning millions a year to maintain even a semblance of their normal way of life. Doubling the cost of pasta while cutting snap for food insecure folks. We are headed to the food lines of USSR. |
| avaa... | Stand your ground push back on this regime or we won't have a democracy stand firm this is on the republicans and they are following the 2025 playbook |
| lmca... | Stopping the menacing activity of this fascist republican administration for even a day is a win in and of itself. Dems need to use every lever they have available. |
| twin... | Republicans need to continue obama care since they have NO BETTER PLAN!!!!! They are to blame for this government shutdown! Impeach trump! |
| gibl... | They have to resolve this by November. They are extending the Biden budget w/o any Republican changes. Why screw the economy and workers, to provide Medicare to illegals. Never mind, leave it closed. Market is soaring. |
| jd.s... | One bill, one vote. Stop adding things to a piece of legislation |
| wfer... | The highest priority is showing workers of federal government that their families, housing, and other living needs are most important. The other issue is important, but does not outweigh those of the workers. |
| lady... | It’s just a republican ploy! They think we’re stupid but we’re not! |
| oneo... | Pay the employees now and getback on track. They can argue later. They will anyway. |
| mike... | Rep Johnson et al need to fix what they have broke. |
| caln... | This administration can’t be trusted with anything really, but specifically working with democrats after opening the government. They only care about themselves |
| pegg... | This administration is not trustworthy. The changes must be made before Democrats give them what they want. |
| dave... | If the government reopens without this issue resolved the Republicans will continue to kick the can down the street until the subsidies expire. Democrats must hold tight!!! |
| shaw... | Don't make policy changes while staring down the barrel of a gun. Reopen the government and then take the time necessary to discuss and negotiate and find a solution that is beneficial for the nation. |
| usct... | The Democrats cannot trust Trump and Republican leaders. |
| john... | Trump and Republican Party can not be trusted. They lie to often to be taken seriously. |
| jazz... | Trump and the Republican Party, which he owns, cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith. If the Democratic leadership caves in , it will lose the respect and support of a significant number of Party members. |
| thet... | There is no reason to delay negotiations |
| kvas... | The best strategy for Democrats until the 2026 midterms is to Mitch McConnell the Traitor in the White House: He gets nothing he wants. |
| paul... | This is all a political stunt by the party who lost the 2024 election and we don’t need to be funding illegal aliens |
| bets... | We absolutely need to negotiate a way forward for all to have any chance at a civil society- enough of this nonsense and bring our country together and fully cooperate a better tomorrow for America otherwise it is downhill to the bottom… |
| matt... | Poorly worded question |
| tadd... | People’s jobs should not be levied to negotiations You pay the people then you learn how to negotiate |
| marg... | I’m surprised by majority opinion but I can see why. |
| patn... | Healthcare for underserved Americans is not to be used as a pawn for Trump’s ridiculous demands. He is not a king. He is a servant of the country. |
| fitz... | Give away the store and expect Republicans to make good on their IOU’s? We’ve seen this one before. Keep the “Closed” sign hanging in the front window. Hold them accountable. |
| kold... | You cannot trust Trump |
| jeff... | Tax payers should not fund illegal migrants health care, it also over burdens our health facilities, it is a ploy by the Dems to buy votes. The Dems are to blame for the shut down, let them open it. |
