Boehner Seeks to Force Senate to Take Health Care Vote
By Roxana Tiron & Richard Rubin - Sep 10, 2013 11:06 AM ET
House Republican leaders said they will try to force the Democratic-led Senate to vote on defunding President Barack Obama’s health-care law before the House will agree to enact a stopgap government-funding measure.
“Our goal here is not to shut down the government,” House Speaker John Boehner told reporters in Washington today. “Our goal is to cut spending and to stop Obamacare.”
Boehner said he wants to send a bill eliminating funds for the health-care law to the Senate and “force them to actually have a vote on getting rid of Obamacare.”
The move hasn’t yet received the backing of rank-and-file House Republicans, many of whom want to see a binding measure to eliminate funding for the Affordable Care Act. The House plan would allow a short-term spending measure to be enacted even if the Senate voted not to strip health-care funding.

PITTSBURGH — In a hotel conference room overlooking this city's downtown, the leaders of one of the nation's largest conservative advocacy groups outlined a plan to cripple President Obama's healthcare law.
With funding for government operations set to run out at the end of this month, Heritage Action, part of a coalition of conservative lawmakers and outside groups, wants Republicans to refuse to vote for a law that would authorize spending unless it also eliminates money for the healthcare law, a move that would hobble the Obama administration's efforts to launch Web-based insurance marketplaces Oct. 1.
"This is the time to fight," said Jim DeMint, a former South Carolina senator who is president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank allied with Heritage Action. "If there has ever been a political issue that's worth standing up and fighting and taking a risk for, this is the time to do it."
