Should Democrats accept Republican demand to delay Obamacare mandate to avoid shutdown? [View all]

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/09/house-senate-government-shutdown-97557.html


House Republicans are moving toward putting a bill on the floor that would delay the individual mandate and cancel health-insurance subsidies for members of Congress, the president and administration appointees, according to multiple sources.

That bill would be part of a government funding measure to which the Senate would have to agree, which is highly unlikely. Just this afternoon, the Senate rejected the House’s last move this weekend to delay Obamacare and repeal the medical device tax as part of a government funding bill.


How should Senate Democrats vote on the House GOP bill, should it pass the House?
