WASHINGTON, Sept 29: The US House of Representatives today, ignoring a White House veto threat, approved a one-year delay in funding major provisions of President Barack Obama’s landmark healthcare law as part of a government funding bill.
Republicans attached the amendment to a bill that is needed to keep federal agencies operating beyond September. 30 when a new fiscal year begins.
The move brought the US government closer to shutting down on Tuesday amid deep divisions between Republicans and Democrats.
