The US federal government has shut down after Democrats refused to vote for a Republican plan to keep the government open through mid-November, instead laying out a series of demands centered around healthcare that amounted to the undoing some of what the GOP has accomplished over the past year.

Do you agree with Democrats’ refusal to vote for the Republican spending bill, even though it risked a shutdown? Why or why not?

What should the Democrats demand, in your view, in exchange for its votes to end the shutdown?
