13- The House also voted to defund the implementation and enforcement of Obamacare. Just... all of it.
There are plenty more harmful provisions and cruel budget cuts in the House's omnibus spending bill, but we think you get the point... (END)
ps. All 12 spending bills must still go through the Senate! If you don't like something(s), call your Senators ➡️ 5calls.org
