Which shouldn't be the case. Obamacare was already enacted into law, meaning the Republican majority in Congress failed to block it. The present shutdown wouldn't have happened if Congress just approved the budget, which was the main agenda. But the Republicans instead of simply deliberating about the budget, insisted that Obamacare should be defunded before they would approve the budget.

They shouldn't have included defunding Obamacare, which is an entirely different entity in the budgetary discussions.
