I say let it go forward and let people feel the effects of Obamacare. Just make sure that the Dems get credit for it.

Just as the Dems “deemed” it passed, why don’t the Republicans deem it de-funded?

RE :” Government shutdown won't shut Obamacare: Report
Obamacare would keep running even in a government shutdown, a new congressional report suggests.
...The new health care law draws funding from sources that are not subject to the congressional budget process, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. Also, the revenue collected under Obamacare is considered to be part of a category that ensures the “safety of human life or the protection of property,” which makes it immune to government shutdowns, the report said.”

Yep, shutdown government services to take a stand on Obama-care spending with Obama-care spending unaffected by shutdown because its exempt from it.

Reminds me of 1996 after three weeks of shutdowns the GSAs got back salaries for all three weeks paying some overtime.(caught me by surprise at time)

Imagine how that would play in media and public opinion...

I don’t get it. Congress appropriates money to the government. But if it doesn’t then the government can get it elsewhere? Where is that?

Of course, I don’t get much of anything anymore.

[Turbo Pig]

Well, if not funding it doesn’t hurt obamacare, then they should go ahead and defund it...no harm done, and the libs can’t get mad, because after all, obamacare is not affected.

[I want the USA back]

When they say shutdown they mean screw the public but keep their special privileges.

I agree that a gov’t shutdown would be bad for the GOP.

The best bet, let Obamacare move forward and let the middle class get their 20% increases. In order to repeal and replace the people need to really be pissed off and demand it.

Then the GOP walks in and solves it and wins back the senate and WH.
