In just two weeks, millions of Americans will become eligible to sign up for the Obamacare exchanges. It will mark the first time millions of voters will have the opportunity to opt into Obamacare, and they will do so with the expectation of receiving benefits in a few short months. Opponents of President Obama’s health care regime can argue about the quality and cost of that care, but entitlement programs are notoriously difficult to unravel once the money starts flowing.
To date, there is just one legislative strategy on the table that is geared toward stopping Obamacare before the exchanges open on October 1st — defund Obamacare on the year-end spending bill. The strategy is supported by Senators like Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT), Congressmen like Justin Amash (R-MI) and Mark Meadows (R-NC), and conservative voters all across the country.
First, it is important to understand what conservatives mean by “defunding Obamacare.”
Defunding Obamacare means attaching a legislative rider (think of the Hyde Amendment) to the year-end spending bill, which will be considered by September 30, the day before the Obamacare exchanges open for enrollment. The rider would prohibit any funds from being spent on any activities to implement or enforce Obamacare, rescind unspent balances that have already been appropriated and turn off the exchange subsidy and new Medicaid spending, the so-called mandatory spending. Fortunately, the language described already exists in the form of the Defund Obamacare Act of 2013 introduced by Cruz and Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA).
Second, it is important to understand defunding Obamacare is not a new idea.
In 2011, after Republicans took control of the House thanks to the tea party wave, they included a defunding provision on their continuing resolution when it first passed the House. Obviously the provision was jettisoned in subsequent...

Defund this economy-killing, jobs-killing monster that the majority of all Americans do not want!!
Kill it before it kills us!!
Here’s hoping!! (And praying)
Step 1: Get the WILL to do it.
Obama and the DNC want ObamaCARE.
GOP wants ObamaCARE (1. they are the authors: RomneyCARE)
and (2. THEY and their families and staff ARE NOT UNDER IT.
When the GOP nominated the author of RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
and made HIM their candidate (Romney, in case anyone forgot), even after he backstabbed -through-saboteurs
Gov. Palin (who exposed this as DeathPanels),
it should have become clear which side the GOP is on.
They are on Obama’s side.
So basically, we are relying on an establishment of Democrats and Republicans who are exempt from Obamacare. With a media instigating a fight between them and Conservatives who have over 60% of the electorate on their side who want this repealed?
Oh yeah, we will win this in a cakewalk /extreme sarcasm
There are congresscritters telling their constituents at Town Halls they don’t want to fight this on the Continuing Resolution, they want to fight it on the Debt-Limit debate. Those Congresscritters are *lying.* They know they won’t win the debt-limit fight.
Riiight. Just like they did last time. Boehner, Ryan & Co. will fold on the debt ceiling increase in a NY minute.
It is a maddening to me someone who claims to be a proponent of getting rid of OC cannot suggest ways the CR can be used to take out OC. Tell us how it can be done..there are plenty of pols who are telling us why it cannot be done.
Kudlow obviously has forgotten about MCC...although he touts that he was in the Regan adm at the time.
Oh Hell yeah.
The gop faction of the uniparty wants boehnercare as badly as the ‘rats do.
There will be no defunding.
When this is all over, Boehner will have a good cry and the country will be another trillion or two in debt.
Then we’ll go through this again in 18 months.
Interesting desire to defund obamacare...
BUT; the republican controlled and “lead” House HAS...
financially enabled Obama to do everything he has for all the time he has been in the White-Hut..
They backed him with all the funds he needed................
They COULD have easily cut him off at the knees...
by limiting ALL FUNDS to the Executive Branch Agencies..
BUT DIDN’T... you know.. ON PURPOSE...
The republican OWNED House of Reps... ARE PARTNERS with Obama..
You nailed THAT. Bought off, they appear to be!
Crawling up the leg pant of our critters in congress to support insurrection (Lee, Cruz and Paul) is required of each of us.
These guys are counting on us.
The House is composed of Republicans and Democrats. All are subject to blackmail from an NSA empowered regime that knows everything about everyone. Kenycare will not be defunded.
THEY WANT OBAMACARE/ROMNEYCARE.
Look at Romney's face. THEY LOVE IT.
Look at his laugh as it is imposed.

Dump Boehner and Grow a pair! ...
I have a feeling the media is exempt, too.
Kill it before it kills us!!
********************************
The beat down Obama’s put on the majority of us economically is working to his advantage... people simply cannot march on Washington or take part in protests ... I myself MUST drop insurance next year (Obamacare implemented or not) because it will consume 25% of our pretax income up from about 17% this year... and I’m not the 1% ...
If Obamacare goes in I must for the good of my family move abroad... I have family asetts (currently being wasted) that can be converted into a good business... but right now I can’t even afford the airfare.
If I have no say , control or input into righting this ship I must hide out in Galts Gulch until the lights come back on.
Ted Cruz Ping!
