User:Fuzheado/United States federal government shutdown of 2013

The United States federal government shutdown of 2013 is the result of conflicts between Democratic President Barack Obama and the  Republican Congress over funding for Affordable Care Act, colloquially known as Obamacare. The government shut down on October 1, 2013, the deployment date of the ACA, when Republican members of Congress insisted on defunding the ACA and then delaying the ACA.
