House Republicans' new spending bill calls for 1-year delay on ObamaCare

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

House Republicans emerged from behind closed doors Saturday with a new temporary spending bill that calls for a one-year delay in ObamaCare and a repeal of the law's medical-device tax.

 

The plan appears almost assured of being rejected by the Democrat-controlled Senate and forcing a temporary government shutdown Monday night. But leaders of the Republican-led House struck a defiant tone upon emerging from the one-hour meeting.

 

“ObamaCare is not ready, and the delay is essential,” California GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs, said before lashing out at a reporter. “How dare you assume this will be a failure. How dare you.”

 

House leaders said the proposal will fund the federal government – except for ObamaCare – through December 15. It now goes before the chamber’s rules committee, and a full floor vote is expected by Saturday evening.

The real failure is Obamacare.

White House: Obama will veto House shutdown bill

AP News

Sep 28, 2013

 

WASHINGTON (AP) The White House says President Barack Obama would veto House Republican legislation that would delay much of the president's health care overhaul for a year and cancel a tax on medical devices.

 

The White House statement comes as the GOP-run House prepares to debate a bill averting a government shutdown Tuesday morning, but delaying the health care law and repealing the tax as the price for doing so. The medical device tax helps finance the health care law.

AWESOME: House adds Obamacare Freedom of Religion clause to CR http://therightscoop.com/awesome-house-adds-obamacare-freedom-of-religion-clause-to-cr/

 

CNN – House Republicans have added a measure aimed at limiting contraceptive coverage to the spending bill coming up for a vote Saturday night, a spokesman for Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kansas, told CNN.

 

A senior House leadership aide confirmed that development.

 

The so-called “conscience clause” would allow employers and insurers to opt out of preventative care for women which they find objectionable on moral or religious grounds. That prominently includes birth control, which most insurers are required to provide for free under current Obamacare rules.

 

With this move, House Republican leaders would give any employer or group health plan the ability to opt out of contraception coverage for the next year. That time frame syncs up with the larger measure in which this is included: a one-year delay of Obamacare provisions not yet in effect.

While I don't have a TV so I can't say he is tough like this all the time, but it appears to me he does treat politicians of all stripes the same. At least when I've seen him on you Tube.

Delaying this awful monster of death is yet another brain-dead reaction from the Darwin Party, aka as the GOP.

 

All this will do (and unlikely to be passed by Marxist Dingy) will give KenyanKare another year to kill off private insurers.

 

Stupid, stupid, and more stupid.

An Obama-Cruz Shutdown

The President is refusing to compromise on anything.

9/29/13

 

Washington is careening toward a partial government shutdown on Tuesday amid its usual synthetic outrage. As the partisan cries grow in volume, it's worth a few minutes to sort the truth from the nonsense.

 

 

(Snip)

 

We've criticized GOP Senator Ted Cruz for his strategy to make defunding ObamaCare a requirement of funding the rest of government. He and his allies know that Mr. Obama can never agree to that, and even millions of Americans who oppose ObamaCare don't agree with his shutdown ultimatum. It risks political damage for the House and Senate GOP in 2014 even as Mr. Cruz builds his email list for 2016.

 

Yet it takes two to tangle, and Mr. Obama is as much to blame for the partisan pileup as Mr. Cruz. This is a President who is eager to negotiate with dubiously elected Iranian mullahs but can't abide compromise with duly elected leaders of Congress. He refuses to negotiate at all over an increase in the federal debt limit, claiming this has never happened. Like so much that Mr. Obama says, he knows this is false. His own staff suggested the spending sequester during the 2011 debt debate, and Democratic Congresses have used the debt limit to extract concessions from Republican Presidents.

A Grand Bargain for Liberty?

 

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Ron Paul

 

As I write this, it appears that the federal government is about to shut down because the House and Senate cannot agree on whether to add language defunding or delaying Obamacare to the “Continuing Resolution”. Despite all the hand-wringing heard in DC, a short-term government shut down (which doesn’t actually shut down the government) will not cause the country to collapse.

 

And the American people would benefit if Obamacare was defeated or even delayed.

 

Obamacare saddles the American health care system with new spending and mandates which will raise the price and lower the quality of health care. Denying funds to this program may give Congress time to replace this bill with free-market reforms that put patients and physicians back in charge of health care. Defunding the bill before it becomes implemented can spare the American people from falling under the worst effects of this law.

Senate slated to table House bill

BURGESS EVERETT and MANU RAJU

9/30/13

 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will double down on Monday afternoon and again dismiss the House’s attempts to chip away at Obamacare as part of a government funding bill.

 

The Senate will come in session at 2 p.m. and shortly thereafter vote to table the funding bill passed by the House over the weekend that repeals a 2.3 percent levy on medical devices and delay Obamacare by a year. The Senate will send back a bill funding the government through Nov. 15, leaving the House a handful of hours to respond ahead of a midnight shutdown deadline.

 

(Snip)

 

Tabling the House’s alterations will be done by a majority vote, so the 54-member Senate Democratic Caucus needs no help from Republicans to toss out the the House’s alterations to the health care bill.
