Something I have been hearing a lot is that the Cromnibus funds Obamacare. That is completely FALSE. The Cromnibus was by no means a perfect bill, but it absolutely does NOT fund Obamacare. I have voted numerous times to repeal Obamacare and will continue to fight it, but Obamacare is funded by mandatory spending and the Cromnibus bill dealt with discretionary spending. Therefore, Obamacare would have continued operating as usual even if the bill had not passed and the government had shut down. This bill did, however, cut funding from the IRS – one of the main mechanisms of enforcing Obamacare penalties – by $1.5 billion from the amount President Obama had originally requested.
