House Republicans urge their leaders to defund Obamacare

Eighty House Republicans collectively sent their party’s leaders a letter Thursday urging them to draft legislation to defund President Obama’s health care reform act, the latest GOP salvo against the administration’s signature legislation.

The letter, sent to House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, calls for the House to “continue our efforts to repeal Obamacare in its entirety this year, next year and until we are successful.”
