House Will Vote on Plan to Keep Government Open, Stop ObamaCare |
WASHINGTON, DC
– House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Majority Leader Eric Cantor
(R-VA), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and GOP Conference Chair
Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) released the following joint statement:
“The
American people don’t want a government shut down and they don’t want
ObamaCare. That’s why later today, the House will vote on two
amendments to the Senate-passed continuing resolution that will keep
the government open and stop as much of the president’s health care law
as possible.
“The
first amendment delays the president’s health care law by one year.
And the second permanently repeals ObamaCare’s medical device tax that
is sending jobs overseas.
“Both
of these amendments will change the date of the Senate CR to December
15th. We will also vote on a measure that ensures our troops get paid,
no matter what.
“We will do our job and send this bill over, and then it’s up to the Senate to pass it and stop a government shutdown.”
