LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Sen. Marco Rubio said Thursday that he will refuse to vote for further funds for the U.S. government unless the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is defunded, according to a Politico report. The Florida Republican also urged fellow conservatives to vote down the continuing resolution to prevent the federal government from shutting down unless all money for Obamacare is withdrawn, the report said. "This debate is going to take place the same time as the implosion of Obamacare is happening before your eyes," Politico quoted Rubio as saying, referring to the start of enrollment at health-insurance exchanges under the law. Rubio made the remarks at an event hosted by The Weekly Standard and Concerned Veterans for America.
