House votes to delay Obamacare, raising government shutdown threat
Published time: September 29, 2013 04:51
The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives has voted to delay Obamacare by one year, raising the possibility of an Oct. 1 partial government shutdown. The vote plunges the US into fiscal crisis for the fourth time in last three years.
The Republican-led House voted 231-192, in opposition with the
Democrats and president Barack Obama, who didn’t agree to accept
the Republicans’ conditions to keep the government operating.
The legislation came under fire from the Republicans, who
stressed that it’s based “on a limitless government, bureaucratic
arrogance and a disregard of a will of the people”.
Trent Franks, a Republican representing Arizona, stated that he
often had to choose between “something bad or [something]
horrible,” Bloomberg reported.
