Why Race Matters in U.S. Goverment Shutdown
The right wing Republicans in collaboration with the Tea Party strongly oppose the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care), and are obsessed with nullifying the entire gains of health care reform, to that end they have forced a shutdown of the Federal Government.

Disturbingly, the people who are most and disproportionately impacted are people of color.
