Funding

"All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
--U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 7, Clause 1

Note that the Constitution does not establish the President as the originator of spending bills.  More importantly, and you probably wouldn't catch this from reading/watching the corporate media, the Constitution does NOT provide that once a program is enacted into law, it must be funded in perpetuity.

No, the Constitution provides that Congress can stop funding any program on the books at any time.  Congress can, as it also has done on many occasions, reduce funding for particular programs, sometimes called "starve the beast".
Put another way, if the House and the Senate can't agree on whether a program gets funded, IT DOESN'T GET FUNDED!  Period!  Read the Constitution, even though the powers-that-be want it to become, in the words of George W. Bush, "Just A Goddamn Piece Of Paper". 

So notwithstanding the shills, the House Of Representatives (note that it is NOT Constitutionally the “House Of Puppets Under Presidential Thumb”) is perfectly within its rights. 

It is worth remembering that Obamacare passed in 2010.  That November, the DemocRATS *lost* 63 seats, and Nancy Pelosi became *former* Speaker.  Who can forget (well, lots of people it seems) Pelosi's infamous, "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it" statement? 
We found out.  And alot of people are not pleased.  The House Of Representatives is doing its job.  Sometimes a Constitutional Republic is messy.  It seems the corporate media and other shills would prefer an autocracy, which we are close to having as it is.

And it's really not about "care".  If Obummer were concerned about healthCARE, his regime and CONgress would have passed "Medicare For All".  What we have is "Medicaid For All". All you have to do is look at California's Medi-Cal program, talk with people who struggle with getting any semblance of "care" under it, doctors and hospitals who get paid a pittance under it, members who fight to get meaningful labwork and diagnostic testing covered but face hardcore toxic drug pushing instead, and you'll see Obamacare is about control, about enriching insurance companies and the pharmaceutical drug cartel, and part of the depopulation agenda.
