Republicans push new ObamaCare delay after Senate rejects counteroffer

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

The Senate pulled a page Monday from Yogi Berra and sent the House into "deja vu all over again," killing a Republican counter-proposal that would have delayed ObamaCare -- and sending House Speaker John Boehner back to consider yet another proposal to stall the implementation of the law.

 

Senate Democrats, though, have vowed to reject that counteroffer.

 

"As we said Friday, nothing has changed. If they try to send us something back, they're spinning their wheels," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said.

 

Both sides are digging in, deep, but they don't have much time left on the clock. Lawmakers have until midnight to reach a budget deal, or else the government will begin the process of shutting down.

 

Republicans are huddling to plot their next move. Party leaders already have their counterproposal at the ready -- a bill that would delay the so-called individual mandate by a year while ensuring that high-level administration officials, members of Congress and their staff must get their health insurance through ObamaCare.

 

"It's a matter of fairness for all Americans," Boehner said.
