House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) slammed House Republicans latest proposal to defund Obamacare through a continuing resolution (CR).
At a press conference on Thursday Pelosi estimated the new proposal, which House Republican leadership said on Wednesday that they planned to move forward with, could cost as much as “1.6 million jobs.”
“It’s a terrible appropriations bill, the CR. But it’s also a bill that puts insurance companies back in charge of medical decisions for Americans’ families,” Pelosi said.
Republicans are hoping to pass the continuing resolution legislation by the end of the week. The Senate is almost certain to reject the proposal in which case the House will then pass a “clean” continuing resolution bill that strips out the Obmacare defunding provision.
