LaMalfa votes for resolution defunding Obamacare

The north state's Rep. Doug LaMalfa voted with the majority in favor of a resolution that would keep the federal government running through December but strip funding for Obamacare.

“The House acted today to put the brakes on the president’s health care takeover and ensure that the government continues to meet its financial obligations," LaMalfa said. "With just days left before the president’s plan kicks in, it’s clear that his health care takeover doesn’t pencil out. In my district, we’ll see skyrocketing premiums, drastically fewer coverage choices and higher out-of-pocket expenses. It’s time the Senate takes a stand and does what’s right for the American people by putting a stop to the train wreck the president’s health care takeover has become.”

LaMalfa said the bill prevents the government from defaulting on the nation’s debt, which has grown by $6 trillion since President Obama took office.
