This is nothing more than smoke and mirrors by socialist Republicrats(Republicans and Democrats)to divert attention from the fact regulating healthcare is not an enumerated power granted to Congress in Article I Section VIII of the U.S. Constitution. It is a power reserved to the states or to the people per the 10th Amendment. Any action taken by the federal government regarding healthcare, including defunding, is unconstitutional. That fact aside, expecting the very branch of government, who usurped the people's Constitutional rights, to restore those rights is as unrealistic as expecting a thief to voluntarily return property he stole from you. The people must rely on themselves, not government, to take back those powers. That can only occur by nullifying an unconstitutional act of Congress. See

This is the final chapter of the last vestiges of the Republic.
Bullshite at this level, put forth by these people at a juncture where the possible outcome is a pivotal point in the country’s historical arc, means they no longer have even the slightest fear of the general public, and no longer will provide even this level of charade to maintain the illusion of republicanism,
The House GOP leadership (and the vast majority of their corporate sponsors/owners/masters) just told the conservative base to go f’ing die in a ditch as fast as possible. And slow witted conservatives on FR and other online message boards are cheering this message.
