A budget resolution for fiscal year 2016 is currently being considered on the Senate floor. The budget resolution will provide the procedural tools – via budget reconciliation– to repeal Obamacare. It is expected to pass later this week, which then allows the Senate to begin the appropriations process. Rounds was joined at the news conference by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Steve Daines (R-Mont.).
