The whole point of the shutdown was healthcare and they completely caved after 40 days of suffering and people in food lines and failed to achieve the whole fucking reason they forced us into shutdown in the first place.
A "promise" of a vote is a bag of magic beans. They were scammed.

Now millions of people will die.
