My Amendment No. 267 says this in pertinent part: 'No funds made available by this act may be used to carry out the provisions of ObamaCare.' So this does is, for the appropriations that go on outside of the scope of this continuing resolution, we have lost that point of order. But this amendment goes to those funds that are appropriated within it, down the exact same path as the Rehberg amendment, except it goes to the outside of the particular Department of Health and Human Services as the narrower scope of the Rehberg amendment. So this goes broader than just HHS, but it does go directly to shutting off all funds within this CR that would be used to enforce or implement ObamaCare.
