Republicans Plot to Deny Health Care Funding

"A push by Republicans to scuttle the U.S. health overhaul by denying funding through the House's constitutional control over appropriations is gaining momentum," Bloomberg reports.

The strategy to attack funding "promises to produce a year of political skirmishing. The White House says denial of money would block consumer protections and deprive senior citizens of added Medicare benefits. A funding stalemate may spur a government shutdown and produce a backlash against Republicans."

"By vetoing spending measures that don't include money for the law, Obama may set up a situation similar to the 1995 government shutdown triggered by a spending dispute between the then Republican-controlled Congress and Democratic President Bill Clinton."
