Neither should the grossly obese group that was assembled behind him during the speech who were finally able afford $2,000/month and up policies because $1600 and up will be subsidized.

And if the Fed workers that were out marching in front of the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago are any representation of workers furloughed, half can be sent home for good regardless of this outcome. Or at least follow the private world and reduce their hours to 28/week so their health care can be dropped.
