Finding funds a tough sell for lawmakers with public sour on Affordable Care Act.
Republicans wont need to lift a finger to make a dent in at least three Obamacare programs.
The trio of primary care programs, which serves poor Americans, is due to expire at the end of this fiscal year unless Congress finds more funding. But keeping the programs alive could be a tough sell amid a political climate still sour on President Obamas signature health law.
Obamacare supporters have labeled it the primary care cliff, and say it would be a disaster for the health of 22 million poor Americans if the country goes over the Sept. 30 deadline without finding more money for the programs....

Oh sure, let’s trot out some imaginary number to make everyone feel bad and demand to keep the program . . .
It’s always the same . . . talking about a one-track gutter.
Boehner will find a way to keep funding it.
Let this and other “programs” starve, wither and then die on the vine. Not a penny more for the Socialists’ progressive agenda items.
Let them burn. Pain is the only way people will learn why not to vote like this.
They will be funded.
Heck, the GOP will fully fund Obamacare.
They sure as heck are not going to take on Obama cuz they’re spooked by two terrible words: government shutdown.
I’ve never seen a program eliminated as long as I’ve been alive.
Now you know why I stayed home in November.
Yeah, thanks for that. You seem so proud of yourself too.
I have full confidence that the new GOP majority (no thanks to you) will allow these programs to die the death that they deserve.
Suggestion for Article V convention:
No new spending program can be initiated until at least two spending programs have been eliminated.
You’re the idiot who places a lot of confidence in Boner and McConman.
They’re not going to say “no” to Obama.
The GOP is all hat no cattle.
Conservatism wasn’t on the ballot in November. Republicans won but not conservatives.
The party ignored me. Its seems more invested in reaching across the aisle than in stopping Obama.
Just the way the GOP establishment prefers. I didn’t want to vote for the clowns that run the party in Washington.
I think Reagan got rid of the helium something program....They will only increase it 20%. And it will be called a cut...fools all
Wow!
If there wasn’t a single person or issue you wanted to vote for or against then you live in the dullest town in the world.
Nothing.
A conservative feels like the girl at the party no one wants to chase.
Republicans take the base for granted. Heck, presumptive front-runner Jeb says he wants nothing to do with us.
I didn’t feel the love and I didn’t waste my time voting for folks who’ll do what they want now that they have been safely elected.
Rough, well- start doing what you can now to get someone you like in the race in 2016. It’ll be too late soon.
I had a conservative third-party candidate to vote for. He got 25+ per cent without spending hardly anything. No Dem ran.
But so far I see my Rep standing up more against the Leadership LOL!
Go back to your binge watching of TV shows on Netflix.
Page the Money Fairy...
The working net Income Tax payer is all tapped out.
Good Luck.
I didn’t vote for the establishment you mean.
I still have the right to have my voice heard.
Even if its not the least bit interested in us.
Wouldn’t want to be accused of being Uncle Scrooge.
You didn’t vote. You have no right to complain about the results.
Let me see....we have Obamacare which is mandatory, we have Medicaid and Obamacare subsidies for the poor so why WHY would we need to also fund health centers for the poor???
So many redundant programs and just not enough money to fund them all.
Yes, I read the whole article.
