Amid Syria debate, Republicans continue drumbeat against Obamacare

While the debate over whether the U.S. should intervene in Syria’s blood civil war dominates Washington, Republicans are keeping the drumbeat alive against President Obama’s health care law ahead of a looming enrollment deadline.

Congressional GOP leaders and party conference committees on both sides of the Capitol this week kept up their daily summer-long practice of firing off anti-Obamacare news releases, tweets and other missives as states and the federal government face an Oct. 1 deadline to start their health insurance “exchanges” — marketplaces that allow Americans without insurance or those meeting income caps to buy health insurance coverage.
