Republicans are willing to refuse to feed hungry people in order to keep them from getting healthcare.

And Americans are screwed either way. If Dems fold and vote to open government, people will still go hungry trying to pay for insurance. So they might as well hold firm. I just started a recurring monthly donation to my local food bank.

That kind of thinking assumes it's not going to get worse. But it is.
Might as well hold firm? No, the costs involved in holding firm end up making it even harder for those people to get food and healthcare. It can get worse, and it is getting worse due to the holding firm.
I'm glad that you are able to start a monthly donation to your local food bank, but a lot of us are feeling a pinch so we don't have that extra leeway, because of the holding firm.
