Shutdown looms as House votes to delay health law
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The federal government moved closer to its first shutdown in 17 years after the Republican-led House voted very early Sunday to delay President Barack Obama’s health-care law by one year as part of legislation to keep the government running.
The House voted 248-174 to attach a repeal of the tax on medical devices that was to help pay for the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, and then voted 231-192 to attach a delay of the implementation of the law by a year. The latter also included a provision that would allow employers and health care providers to opt out of mandatory contraception coverage. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/house-republ...2013-09-28
