As House Republicans prepare to vote Wednesday on two bills responding to President Obama’s decision to delay the employer mandate and income verification requirements of Obamacare, conservative activists are divided over whether or not to support House Republican leadership.
“I urge you to contact your Representative and urge him or her to vote YES on H.R. 2668, the Fairness for American Families Act,” Freedom Works President Matt Kibbe wrote Monday. “The only cure for the manifold ailments of Obamacare is to immediately defund or repeal it entirely, and to replace it with patient-centered health care that will actually lower costs and improve quality and access for all. Until then, basic fairness demands that individuals be granted the same favor as the Administration has given to businesses. The individual mandate must be delayed for as long as possible. H.R.2668 would delay the mandate for the same length of time that the Administration claims to be “delaying” the employer mandate: one year. That’s a start.”
