Crossfire Live Blog Sept. 26, 2013
Reps. Keith Ellison and Cory Gardner join hosts Newt Gingrich and Stephanie Cutter to debate the debt limit and Obamacare.
-
Welcome to the live blog!Despite Sen. Ted Cruz’s marathon speech lasting more than 21 straight hours, the Senate has moved forward on a temporary spending measure, allowing for Senate Democrats to amend the bill and restore funding for Obamacare.The Senate, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid, will vote on Friday to strip the House bill of any language that defunds Obamacare, while sending a "clean" government funding bill back to the House. In response, House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday signaled a shift in Republican tactics with the focus now on negotiating a compromise on raising the federal debt ceiling next month instead of a short-term spending plan now.During the show, be sure to join the conversation by commenting directly in our live blog or using #Crossfire on Twitter.

WH: Obama to 'cut through all the noise' on ObamacareWashington (CNN) - Five days before new on-line government-run private insurance marketplaces open for business across the country, White House officials from the top down are revving up efforts to spread the word about the next milestone in the implementation of health care reform.During a campaign-style event Thursday at a Maryland community college right outside the nation's capital, President Obama attempted to dispel what the White House sees as some of the myths surrounding health care reform. -

Are employers dumping health benefits because of Obamacare?New York (CNNMoney) -- There are many assumptions about what the effects of Obamacare will be. This series aims to separate myths from realities and answer questions surrounding the Affordable Care Act.Myth: Employers are dumping health benefits because of Obamacare.Reality: It's true that Obamacare is raising costs on employers. And some are either passing those increased tabs to workers or are cutting back on benefits to keep costs under control. -

Obamacare open enrollment: Here's everything you need to know(CNN) -- Amy Braun-Gross is counting the hours until October 1.It's not her birthday nor her anniversary.October 1 is the day that marks the first time ever she will be allowed to buy health insurance.Like more than 48 million other Americans, the Wisconsin stay-at-home mom does not have insurance to pay for doctor bills if she gets sick. It's particularly disconcerting when she thinks about her husband, Chris, who runs a tree-cutting business. Being an arborist is physically demanding. He has fallen out of trees. -
