I wonder what the point is of continuing to doubt someone's "story" on what is happening with them during the shutdown?

I wonder too. If I was a federal employee and told my truth about what I was going through and anyone here kept challenging it...it would be an adios to this place for me.
I look at all of it from a human point of view. Guess that's wrong of me? Nah, don't think so.
Are all the people in the lines for free meals, those pictured above-are they just lying moochers?
Saw a couple this morning on one of the morning shows, they're both federal workers and they are selling their household items off online to try to make any money they can.

I think this whole government thing is so wrong, and yes if one posts something there are always people questioning if you are lying,i really think that is out of line.

@lovesrecess some have already declined their salaries.

I predict the Super Bowl on Feb 3rd will be the tipping point.
Really the week before.
Once a gazillion people begin to start traveling to Atlanta,
I predict there might be a strike of some sort...and action will
have to be taken. Just My Opinion.

Sad situation with the TSA agents not getting paid.

It is hard for me to believe that a diabetic person should choose a plan with a high RX copay. I have NEVER seen a $300 copay. The max I have seen is $200 for a non preferred speciality drug under the FEP standard program.
I wonder if this is some kind of experimental insulin. Could be a true story, but I'd want to see proof. Something doesn't sound right.
From what I have read, their health insurance will not cancel even if they are not being paid.
@Carmie Believe it! Our federal insurance does not cover one penny of the only thyroid hormone replacement that keeps me functioning. One is about $150 per month. The other is $525 for 90 days, from the pharmacy. I can save on that one by ordering from the mail order pharmacy....which I don't like doing because of the heat during the summer months. But I do.
ETA: We have the high level of Blue Cross Blue Shield.
I'm sorry to hear that. And I believe you are telling the truth about it too.
The woman I mentioned was also hospitalized twice recently. The second time was for sepsis.
I believe it too. By now the Internet would be on fire if she was lying. On a lot of diabetic forums people working for the government are sharing how high their co-pays are for insulin. Some pay more than $300 for just 1 of their insulins. People who have a child with diabetes cannot ration insulin either.
