Marco Rubio, GOP Senators Warn John Boehner of Obamcare Bailout

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and other Republican senators wrote to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Wednesday, urging him to stand up to President Barack Obama and warning that the White House could ignore Congress by funding Obamas signature federal health-care laws risk corridor aspects. The Republican senators also warned about insurance company bailouts under the law.

Unfortunately, President Obama and his administration have exhibited their intent to disregard the law and ignore the Constitution, Rubio and the other senators wrote. The American people expect us, as members of Congress, to fulfill our oath of office and defend the Constitution. Therefore, we must act to protect Congresss power of the purse and prohibit the Obama administration from dispersing unlawful risk corridor payments providing for an Obamacare taxpayer bailout.

Besides Rubio, the following Republican senators signed the letter: John Barrasso and Mike Enzi of Wyoming, Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, Ted Cruz of Texas, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Mike Lee of Utah, John McCain of Arizona, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Pat Roberts of Kansas, Jeff Sessions of Alabama and David Vitter of Louisiana.
