Michele Bachmann, pressing her case against the Obama administration's health care overhaul, announced legislation Wednesday to remove the $105.5 billion in automatic funding that she says was "buried in ObamaCare." The bill, which has yet to get any traction with Republican leaders in the U.S. House, would give Congress the authority to take back the funding in future years. It also rescinds all existing unobligated balances in the health care bill, a top target for Tea Party groups across the nation. Joining Bachmann in a D.C. press conference were fellow Republicans Jack Kingston of Georgia and Louie Gohmert of Texas. The office of House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
