So Obamacare was funded by a House vote with only Democrats?

Maybe I should read up a little more. I thought we held the house.

House = Chamber

Congress has two houses. It is a confusing post given the generally applied labels.

Obamacare funding was not part of the budget negotiations.

It was separate as is social security.

It could have been part of the debt ceiling except the Obama administration could have picked and choose which bills to pay and which not to pay.

Aside from a default, there is no way to defund obamacare without passing a bill which the senate and potus would block.

I am pretty sure the house was under rat control at the time.
