House Speaker John Boehner assured his Republican caucus last night that the House will continue its bid to stop implementation of President Barack Obama’s health-care law, while not addressing a push from some in his party to simply not fund the measure.
Boehner also told lawmakers on a telephone conference call that across-the-board government spending cuts, known as sequestration, will stay in place until Obama proposes a replacement package, according to a person who was on the line and wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about it.
