Representative Steve King Thinks They Will

Shortly after midnight on Friday morning, the House voted to approve a continuing resolution to keep the government funded from the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30 through Nov. 18. According to an analysis by the conservative Republican Study Committee, the CR permits funding for both Planned Parenthood and implementation of Obamacare.

Representative  Steve King (R.-IA) is predicting that, despite his own and other conservatives' efforts to the contrary, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives will continue throughout its two-year tenure to allow funding for Planned Parenthood and the implementation of Obamacare.

The Congressional Research Service has reported that $105.5 billion in automatic funding to implement Obamacare was embedded in the massive health-care law President Obama signed last year. Of that $105.5 billion, $26.3 billion is slated to be spent during the term of the current Congress in which the Republicans won a majority in the House. The only way that Obamacare money can be stopped is if House Republicans put language in a must-pass spending bill, such as the CR, that prohibits the administration from spending it.

“The Constitution let’s Congress be in this power, and in this authority, and the reason we are up for election every two years, every 24 months we are back on the ballot again, is because the Founding Fathers envisioned that the House would be the people who came in here to defend the ramparts of liberty, who came from the hinterlands. And there would be a quick change, every two years,” said King.

He argued that it was fear of Obamacare and government overspending—including on Planned Parenthood—that drove voters to give the Republicans a majority in this House.

“Eighty-seven new freshman Republicans came into this House of Representatives, driven by the voters out of fear of what happened with Obamacare, out of budgetary concerns because of the over-spending, and part of that was also the Planned Parenthood component of this,” said King.

Why are the House Republicans funding Obamacare?
