McKinley Releases Statement on Senate Tabling Latest House Amendment, Creating Government Shutdown | 2013-10-03 | 2013 | 2013-10 | Republican | House | WV | David McKinley | M001180 | mckinley.house.gov | legacy | With their action however, the Senate is avoiding their responsibility, and placing themselves above the American people by requiring special treatment not available to American families. share: f t Tonight, Rep. David B. McKinley released the following statement on the government shutdown: "Tonight the Senate tabled a House amendment that would have required Members of Congress, congressional staff, and political appointees to enroll in the Obamacare exchanges without a special subsidy for coverage." "The House amendment would have ensured that Members of Congress and the White House will have to live by the same health care law as the American people. Either Obamacare is good for everyone or no one. It is time for the sweetheart deals for the politically privileged to end." "With their action however, the Senate is avoiding their responsibility, and placing themselves above the American people by requiring special treatment not available to American families." "Now, the Senate has most likely forced a government shutdown. The House has offered several, reasonable compromises to prevent Americans from being hurt by Obamacare but have all been rejected by Harry Reid and the Democratic leadership." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
