The standoff in Washington began this summer, when 80 conservative members of Congress urged House Speaker John Boehner to use the budget and debt ceiling debate to try and kill the Affordable Care Act.

Sacramento bureau chief Scott Detrow hit the road this week to see how the shutdown is affecting life in McClintock's rural district.
