HCR Update from Mark Sanna: The GOP-controlled House of Representatives on Wednesday passed legislation to fund the government through Sept. 30.  The measure keeps “sequestration” — the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that began March 1 – in place. The bill would fund the government beyond March 27 when the current “continuing resolution” expires. This measure will delay implementation of the health law’s exchanges scheduled to begin enrolling individuals in October.
