Guess it's too bad the not conservative Republicans don't have more sway.
Quote:
Obamacare, as President Barack Obama's signature health care plan is known, isn't directly tied to funding the government. But it's so unpopular among the Republican tea party conservatives that they want it undercut, if not outright repealed.
The health care law "is the most insidious law known to man," Republican Rep. Todd Rokita of Indiana said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told CNN on Tuesday that such intransigence is the root of the shutdown, noting that conservative Republicans such as Rokita are the only ones pushing a political agenda for meeting the congressional responsibility of passing a budget.
