Former RedState contributor and now Political Director of Heritage
Action for America, Russ Vought, has written a pretty comprehensive
“FAQ” on the Obamacare defunding fight. I asked Russ if I could post it
here in its entirety. He said I could. The original is found right here. This should answer most of your questions, including the question about mandatory vs. discretionary spending.
POLICY AND TECHNICAL
“What do you mean by defunding Obamacare?”
Defunding
Obamacare means attaching a legislative rider to a “must pass” bill
(debt limit, annual spending bill, etc.) that 1) prohibits any funds
from being spent on any activities to implement or enforce Obamacare; 2)
rescinds any unspent balances that have already been appropriated for
implementation; and 3) turns off the exchange subsidy and new Medicaid
spending that are on auto-pilot.
