Conservative Organization Tells House Republicans To Vote Against Their Own Leadership’s Proposed Deal

House Republican leadership’s budget and debt deal just took a major blow: The conservative organization Heritage Action is urging Republican Representatives not to back the bill, and saying it will make the vote a “key vote” on its legislative scorecard. The organization says the proposal doesn’t do enough to derail obamacare:

Despite overruling OPM’s congressional exemption, the proposed plan will do absolutely nothing to help Americans who are negatively impacted by Obamacare. Premiums will continue to skyrocket, cancellation notices will still arrive in the mail, employers will continue reducing hours and bureaucrats will continue reaching deeper and deeper into our health care decisions.
