The bill the house sent the senate also had the Obamacare changes in it. Of course the senate wouldn't vote on it. The bill the senate sent to the house was clean of anything but the budget. As it should be.
You don't get to change a law (obamacare) when hashing out a budget. That's not how it's done. I'm sure you're aware of that.
wow, do you have it wrong. the budget bills originate in the House of Representatives, and funding for obamacare is part of the budget. if the Representatives do not want to include funding for obamacare, they are under no obligation to include it just because the Senate wants it. if the Senate wants funding for obamacare, they have to negotiate for it. they do not get to dictate what gets passed in the House.
