“Please, call the number on your screen and tell Congress, ‘do not fund Obamacare.’”
Some Republicans want Congress to stop paying for the health care law as part of any agreement to finance federal spending in October. Critics of the law include Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.
“It is not working. It is hurting health care and now is the opportunity to do it if the American people rise up and hold our elected officials accountable.”

Florida Senator Marco Rubio also opposes the law.
“It will do irreparable damage to our country and to our country. I do not think you can say that you are against Obamacare if you vote for a budget that funds it.”
Republicans hold a majority in the House of Representatives. The House has repeatedly voted to cancel funding for the health care law. But the effort has been blocked in the Senate, which the Democratic Party controls. And, President Obama would veto any such effort.
The president recently spoke to reporters about calls to close down the government.
“The idea that you would shut down the government unless you prevent 30-million people from getting health care is a bad idea.”
Congressional Democrats are fighting the idea of defunding the law. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is sharply critical of some Congressional Republicans.
