Apparently John Boehner has a bit of fire left in him.
House Republicans will vote to pass a one-year delay of Obamacare in
exchange for funding the government, a plan that drastically increases
the chances of a government shutdown this Tuesday.
The decision
was announced by the GOP leadership in a closed meeting Saturday
afternoon, according to sources present. Republicans will also pass a
separate bill to fund U.S. troops if the government shuts down, GOP
lawmakers said. The House’s funding measure will keep the government
open until mid-December.
Good. But there's more!
Additionally, Republicans will adopt a “conscience clause” that delays
until 2015 an Obamacare requirement that employers cover birth control
as part of their health-insurance packages.
Just a First Amendment thing, ya'know. (One suspects that Politico forgot "abortion" language here).
Let's see who folds first.
Oh, yes. Let's see if Boehner thanks Cruz for doing the heavy lifting.
I wonder. Did they include making all gov't employees and staff, meaning themselves, and SCOTUS, use this excrement of a health scam as well?
