For your sakes, I hope it doesn't shut down and nobody gets laid off.
I think the vote can be a rock and a hard place - if a vote to keep the Gov't open includes defunding, say, health care (including stripping the people who just came under new expansions of their care) and reinstates the donut hole - which is worse? The gov't shutting down or operating while taking away vital services/reinstating high medical prices?

(I may just be thinking of the FDA putting in a smackdown instead of letting the free market take its course when one company got a license to make an orphan drug... and then raised the price from $20 a dose to $15,000 a dose.)
