Republicans, who are the control of Parliament in January, but remains in the minority in the Senate, confirm that you not the votes for your goal of repealing the health right, the most polarizing Mr. of Obama's signature initiatives have.
But you said hoped to use the power of the purse to the main elements of the law, forcing Democrats challenge - in particular in the Senate, which will be up for re-election 2012 year in a number of votes to defend it.
Said Republican legislators, for example, that you propose to the money, and the staff at the internal revenue limit service, so that the Agency could not aggressively enforce provisions, people to help health insurance and employer to pay for it need to get.According to the law, individuals and employers who disregard the requirements will face tax penalties.
In addition plan Republican leaders said invoices to output use to block insurance federal regulations, which Objekt.Und you are try contain access to private state-sponsored health plans to limit the coverage of abortion – one of the most controversial topics in Congressional debate on legislation.
That only a few examples of the ways that newly authorised House Republicans are planning where to output pressure Mr Obama and Senate to use invoices Democrats, changes in the law apply.
Considering its narrow majority Democrats Senate must keep together if you want to avoid sending Mr Obama spending bills and other legislation that he veto would feel compelled set up the prospect of a wider deadlock and in an extreme situation, a Government shutdown.
The House Republican Whip, representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, described the strategy in this way: "if all opponents be immediately repealed can not, then it is my intention to start repealing it little by little, blocking funding for its implementation and block the issuance of the regulations required to implement it."
"Short," said Mr. Cantor, "it is my intention to use each tool to achieve complete lifting of opponents."
The Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, he said, wanted to shut down money for the new law.
Mr Obama has made it clear that he will fight to get all the basic elements of the law.When asked if the President would veto legislation, money to cut off his spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said "I don't think we get it."
She said both sides determined were a Government shutdown as in 1995, by many accounts have political damage House Republicans and Newt Gingrich, to avoid that became speaker.
Anticipating the Republican attack, said White House officials Mr Obama would emphasize how the law protects consumers and gives you more control over your Versicherung.Administration officials work with Senate Democrats to schedule hearings where consumers would explain how you have already benefited from the law.
One of the strongest ally of the President is Senator Tom Harkin, Democratic Iowa, architect of the law.Mr. Harkin said he would fight any attempt, defund the law or its consumer protection aufheben.Er is well positioned, lead to such resistance."He is Chairman of the Senate Health Committee and of its appropriations Subcommittee for responsible health programmes.
The number and variety Congress issues invoices may impose restrictions is almost unlimited.A bill passed by Parliament last year laid down for example, that no federal funds to buy bulbs unless they met certain energy efficiency standards are used could the same invoice said, "No money in this Act can be used for the transport of students or teachers to overcome racial imbalance in every school."
House Republicans could easily happen similar reservations, indicating that no federal money could be used to carry out certain sections of the new health care law.
By appending the constraints on funding bills, House Republicans can erzwingen.Die Hyde Amendment restricting the use of federal money for abortion, negotiations with the Senate began such a driver more than 30 years ago.
House Republicans, said their efforts, partly through the words of Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat were inspired West Virginia this year described the power of the purse starb.Herr Byrd as "one of the most effective defences that ever built" in the hands of overreaching Executive shackles.
Although judge the constitutionality of the law, of need federal officials manage money nor durchzusetzen.Und that is, where see an opportunity to make their influence with a real possibility a stalemate that House Republicans.
The White House has money in States to help ready available provided - to increase the insurance premiums to scrutinize and regulated markets known as insurance Exchange set up. Furthermore, provided the law $1 billion for "Federal expenses."But that is far less than need be.
The Congressional Budget Office says the internal revenue service must $ 5 billion to $10 billion more than of health and Human Services Department 10 years to determine who is eligible for tax credits and other subsidies for insurance make erschwinglich.Das need at least that much to changes in Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance market, carry out budget Office said.
Community law provided that $11 billion for health million more low-income people including many serve community centers, 20 expected coverage under the law to gewinnen.Viele Republicans, including President George W. Bush supported such clinics.
But Daniel R. Hawkins Jr., senior Vice President of National Association of community health centers, said "It's unclear how in the new climate fare we will."
House Republicans would reduce campaign manifest proposed "strict budget caps", spending on most domestic programs subject to annual appropriations.
The conflict about health care may be the greatest obstacle to cooperation between Mr Obama and Republicans in Congress.
"" House Republicans may not adopt legislation the President sign will not, ", said R. Scott Lilly, a former Democratic staff Director of the House Appropriations Committee."But the President can't force to appropriate money you don't want to appropriate."
