Then we talked about it in class and I talked about it with my sister some more. Her husband is in National Guard and he is deployed right now, which means he is still getting paid. If he wasn’t deployed then he would not be making money right now. She is trying to get her law firm up and running which means she is not making any money right now. We are both concerned. I don’t like that during this time that everyone is going to be out of a job that Congress is still getting paid. That makes me kind of angry actually. I understand that they need to come to a decision and they can’t. I don’t like the idea that because of the Affordable Care Act that I have to get insurance now but if it is mandatory and the cost of it is driven down because of this then maybe I won’t mind it. It worked in two other states. Two for two is not bad. We shall see. Until then, Congress needs to get a move on it.Mollyskiezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925863114406314361noreply@blogger.com
