Statement

Date: Sept. 20, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance Government Budget and Spending

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today voted for a bill to fund the government through December 15 and to permanently delay and defund the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Continuing Resolution keeps in place sequestration spending levels. The measure passed the House 230 to 189.

"Today the House did its job. It passed a bill to control spending, prevent a government shutdown, and protect Americans from the higher premiums, limited choices, and job-destruction caused by the ACA," said Amodei. "It is now the Senate's turn to act. The coming 10 days will give the American people a clear view on who stands with the middle class, small business owners, and seniors, among others, in opposition to the implementation of the ACA and ongoing fiscal practices that undermine the economy."
