House GOP funding bill seeks health care delay
The House is expected to vote on a measure to delay the Affordable Care Act for a year as a condition of funding government. The gambit significantly increases the odds of a government shutdown at the end of Monday. As the hours dwindle before the government runs out of money, there’s little time left for wrangling. The House proposal will be a non-starter in the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats. To boot, the White House said flatly that Obama would veto the House bill if it were to ever reach his desk. In order to avoid a government shutdown, Congress has to pass a funding bill by the end of Monday. On Friday, the Senate approved a continuation of government spending at existing levels through Nov. 15, rejecting a defunding of Obamacare. NBC News
