Republicans Plan Obamacare Showdown in Lame Duck

“A group of Senate Republicans have their eye on another Obamacare showdown in the lame-duck session,” according to Roll Call.

“The 14 Republicans, led by Marco Rubio of Florida, wrote a letter urging Speaker John A. Boehner to “prohibit the Obama administration” from spending money on an ‘Obamacare taxpayer bailout.’ They point to a legal opinion from the Government Accountability Office that said additional funding authority would be needed to make payments to insurance companies under the risk-corridor component of the Obamacare health care exchanges. The Republicans say taxpayers could be on the hook for bailing out insurance companies that suffer losses.”
