Showdown lowdown Day 10: Bend.. Bend.. CAVE!!!

10/11/13


Obamacare 'off the table'
House Republicans, and notably Ted Cruz in the Senate, led the fight against Obama's signature health care law. They made defunding or delaying Obamacare a demand in legislation the House repeatedly sent to the Democratic-controlled Senate, only to see it die there.
Apparently, it's now dead in the House, too.
"That's currently off the table now," Republican Rep. James Lankford said in an interview on "The Lead with Jake Tapper." "That's obviously not going to happen at this point."
Lankford did say that Republicans will now instead ask for a one-year delay on penalties for those who don't sign up for health care insurance.
