42 House Republicans co sponsor bill to defend Obamacare

Although it's still a long shot the defund Obamacare movement in the House gathered steam as 42 Republicans co sponsored a bill introduced by Congressman Tom Graves that would keep the government open but defund Obamacare. There may be as many as 100 House Republicans who would back this measure. Should the bill pass and go to the Senate it could either pass it or force a government shut down. Failure to pass a continuing resolution is less drastic than failing to raise the debt limit. There is no impending default if a CR is not passed and services deemed essential would continue which may not include air traffic controllers and certainly not the EPA, or most function carried out by the Departments of Education, Energy, Labor, Interior, or Commerce. It could be a pleasant thing.
