"Families are struggling to make ends meet.”
Stevens says health care could also get more expensive, with tax subsidies set to expire November 1st.
“It’s very frustrating to see a commander-in-chief who doesn’t care about paying federal workers—people who are working through a shutdown in this time. Trying to throw them away like yesterday’s trash is wholly unacceptable. We should be doing everything we can to ensure that people are compensated for their work and that their pocketbooks are protected.”
