breaking msnbc: Government shutdown odds spike as GOP unveils new funding bill

[spanone]

The odds of a government shutdown spiked on Saturday after the House GOP said it would again vote to force concessions on "Obamacare" as a condition of funding government.

House Republicans doubled down on their strategy of seeking to undo Obamacare as part of the battle over funding the government past Monday, scheduling a vote on a stopgap measure that would delay the health care law for a year.

Though President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats have already said they would reject any measure to fund government that touches on the Affordable Care Act, Republicans barreled ahead with a new proposal to fund the government through mid-December, but also delay Obamacare for a year and repeal a politically-unpopular tax on medical devices contained within the law.

"The American people don’t want a government shut down and they don’t want Obamacare," Boehner and his deputies said in a joint statement. "That’s why later today, the House will vote on two amendments to the Senate-passed continuing resolution that will keep the government open and stop as much of the president’s health care law as possible."
