No juicy handouts for struggling Americans here. Despite roaring concerns over healthcare costs, their proposal cruises past major tax relief for insurance like it's a VIP club with a 'No Poor People Allowed' sign. It’s like promising a pizza party but bringing only carrot sticks. So while bureaucrats stay at their desks until the bill passes, the rest of us get to enjoy the fiscal equivalent of a lukewarm government shutdown appetizer.
