Lummis Votes to Keep the Government Operating While Defunding Obamacare

Statement

Today U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis voted with the majority of her colleagues to permanently defund Obamacare as part of the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government. The CR will now be sent to the Senate for approval.

"We're giving the Senate another chance to join the House in sparing all Americans the onslaught of Obamacare by permanently defunding it as part of the bill to fund the government. When Obamacare was passed by a Democrat Congress and President, we were told that we would have to wait to find out what was in it. Three years and tens of thousands of pages of mandates and regulations later, the verdict is in--the law will limit individual freedom, kill jobs, and break the budget. Instead of President Obama picking and choosing which parts of the law to enforce and whose freedom to limit, we need to stop Obamacare in its entirety before it afflicts America."
