See my later post. The congress most definitely may adjust, suspend or repeal various provisions of law passed through prior acts. See Federalist 58.

The current house has final control over funding or the denial of funding of the current government.

I don't disagree with you at all. I'm not sure where the disconnect between us is.

The congress most definitely may adjust, suspend or repeal various provisions of law passed through prior acts.

Absolutely, 100% agreed. The point of the article is that Congress must take affirmative action (i.e. vote) to "adjust, suspend, or repeal" those various provisions.

Therefore, if Congress doesn't pass legislation that explicitly adjusts, suspends, or repeals Obamacare funding, then it stays funded by means of prior provisions - because they remain in effect.
