Not saying everyone is going to die. And not saying it is as simple as 'go broke, save grandma'. Just saying that if we keep going like this, we will totally crash the health system (and a lot of people will die). Lots of those people will be the car crashes you mentioned (2.4 million injuries and only 35k fatalities only happens b/c we have good trauma services - how many die with no hospital service). That would be a bigger financial blow than the shutdown. And where was all this bleeding heart concern for the deadly risks of poverty when they started to kick people off the food stamps roles, or all the talk about cutting back on social security and medicaid?
