No, I'm pretty sure I was asking someone to back up their all knowing claims that polls clearly support that the Republican party will be heavily damaged by a government shutdown... with an unbiased source. I would like to see the impossible. That'd be nice. At least then there will be irrefutable proof, but I suppose we'll have to wait for an election for that.
The so-called "public option" was removed at the behest of Democratic Senators who were in hock to hospital lobbyists. The Democrats made many concessions to Republicans (and got nothing in return) but the public insurance program wasn't one of them. This is the same reason why the Medicare "buy-in" was scrapped.
That's probably another reason that conservatives are terrified of the ACA; they know that once it's successful, people will want something more/better, and that will finally lead to the United States catching up to the rest of the civilized world and enacting a government run healthcare plan.

Is it really so hard to believe that they'd take more of the blame for this? I know it's nearly impossible to be objective, but if you take recent election results with the continuing slide of GOP support in the independent/moderate voters, is it really so hard to think that people will see this as just more example of the GOP's extremism, and therefore be the party of blame?
Even when stated from a source you refuse to take it on its face. I would love nothing more than to copy/paste the memo she received, but she would get fired if I did so. One does not have to look far to find the problems that this is going to have on a system that is already screwed. Thing is she is very lucky the she is not getting her hours cut, not loosing her job over this. The Hospital has not been replacing the employees that leave or retire, since it is a teaching hospital they are also cutting back on student enrollment into many of doctor specialties. They are trying very hard to soften the blow to the existing personal working there.

See, the thing is that, while the consequences of a shutdown aren't as obvious as, say, a terrorist attack or an oil spill, or dire to individual citizens, they do exist, and they will manifest, and depending on how long the shutdown lasts, it will hurt the economy fairly significantly. And that's not getting into the possibility of the Tea Partiers in the House taking the debt ceiling hostage and forcing a default in two and a half weeks.

Hmm...wonder if my fiancee is going to lose her insurance because of this. She has insurance through www.pciplan.com if they fail to process her check payment through the mail this could be a major problem.

There are subsides depending on income I believe.
You aren't a source. The "free market" is doing what it does. The flaw you are ignoring is employers deciding health coverage. Yet, you have no problem railing about government.
So once again, sigh.

Someone said "the polls show". You then demanded to see unbiased polls, why later declaring you can show all polls are biased. You're qualifying something, and demanding someone show it to you with the qualification caveat, then at the same time, declaring what you are demanding doesn't exist. You're manufacturing an argument and not understanding why its flawed.
Do go on...
