Seems to me the United States House of Representatives offered to move the budget forward as it stood.... if the Senate would accept two legislative proposals: 1 - law makers who voted into law the ACA should themselves have to join the rest of the country by personally accepting and living within the health care provided by their own legislation, and ..... 2 - the entire US citizenry be provided a 12 month waiver (waiting period), just like many thousands of other US citizens have been unilaterally granted by the President. Treating every US citizen the same...
Why not compromise this small bit and move the budget forward Mr. President and Senate? You had the power to say yes to these two very simple and reasonable requests. Upon review, these two requests do seem relatively benign and, well, rather fair as well,....do they not?
Why put us through a shut down, and now debt ceiling crisis,... in order that you might refuse these two simple requests?
