I wonder how much of a cut (of Obamacare profits) they are going to make if they succeed?

The spending bill must clearly earmark how the money is to be spend, and it must explicitly state that no federal money or part of the budget may be spent on funding Obamacare.

If the law does not explicitly specify this, then it may be possible for the Administration to divert money from other essential government operations/defense programs and spend it on Obamacare instead. If the money is taken by the Administration from "must fund" government programs, then when these programs begin to fail from lack of funding, the Administration will be able to shame/extort Congress into paying for the programs that the Administration diverted the money from. Congress would likely cave and pass a resolution to fund the "must fund" programs that got defunded to fund Obamacare. Using this tactic, the administration would likely be able to fund Obamacare and the other programs.
