Fighting continues on Obamacare

by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) - 03/15/11 2:11 PM ET

I am pleased that House leadership has recently acknowledged what some of my colleagues and I have been saying for several weeks: there are slush funds that were slipped into ObamaCare. And while there are media reports about the need to end those funds, it must be known that these slush funds are just the tip of the ObamaCare iceberg. In addition, if action to end these funds is not attached to significant legislation – some form of a leverage point that Senate Democrats must vote on – then it will go nowhere.

Today’s vote is critically important and I know each of my colleagues will weigh it carefully. I am convinced that a vote for the CR is a vote to not fight against ObamaCare. The time has come to take a stand. 62 percent of Americans favor the repeal of ObamaCare (Rasmussen Reports), and I am standing with those Americans in fighting to stop its implementation.
