TOM KLUDT – SEPTEMBER 30, 2013, 6:27 AM EDT

A Republican senator spoke out Sunday against her GOP colleagues in the House for threatening to force a government shutdown in an effort to defund or delay the Affordable Care Act.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) signaled her disagreement in a statement released the same day that House Republicans passed a spending measure that delays the health care law for one year.

"I disagree with the strategy of linking Obamacare with the continuing functioning of government-a strategy that cannot possibly work," Collins said in the statement, according to The Hill.

Collins urged Obama and "congressional leaders to sit down immediately and negotiate at least a stopgap funding measure to avoid a disruption in many vital programs on which our citizens rely."
