Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said Thursday that it’s inconsistent if Republicans who oppose the Affordable Care Act also vote for budgets that fund the federal health care law known as “Obamacare.”
“And let me be clear, anyone who votes for the short-term budget that funds Obamacare is voting to move forward with Obamacare,” Rubio said in a floor speech. “Don’t come here and say, ‘I’m against Obamacare,’ if you’re willing to vote for a budget that funds it. If you pay for it, you own it.”
As Reuters reported, Rubio’s remarks may have been a signal that Republicans on Capitol Hill will target the health care law during imminent battles over government funding and the debt limit.
