Kevin McCarthy: Obamacare Will Be Tackled In Next Funding Bill If Senate Rejects This One
WASHINGTON -- Even if the House of Representatives has to pass a third version of a continuing resolution to fund the government, it will include a provision that changes the presidents health care law, the House GOP Whip said on Sunday.
Hours after House Republicans (aided by two Democratic members) passed their second continuing resolution, which included a year-long delay of Obamacare and a permanent repeal of the laws tax on medical devices, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) appeared on Fox News Sunday to discuss the state of play. Host Chris Wallace pressed him to explain what the chamber had in store in the very likely case that the Senate tables that second bill and demands, once more, that the House pass a clean government funding measure.
McCarthy was largely coy on the matter, suggesting at one point that the Democratic-controlled Senate wouldn't necessarily reject the Houses offer. But he did insist that if the House had to convene again it would produce another bill that altered Obamacare.
The House will get back together in enough time, send another provision not to shut the government down but to fund it and it will have a few other options in there for the Senate to look at again, he said.
We will pass a bill if the Senate (tables the CR) that will keep the government open, that will reflect the House, that I believe the Senate can accept, that will have fundamental changes into Obamacare that can protect the economy of America.

How does a RICO charge sound to you, Kevin McCarthy of California?
If you don't want it - shut the fuck up and pass a clean CR and you can whine about the other stuff later.
