House Votes to Block Funding of Obama's Health-Care Law

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives voted on Friday to block funding of President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare overhaul law, but the Democratic-led Senate seems certain to reject it.

The vote was part of a sweeping bill to cut federal spending by $61 billion this fiscal year.

The ultimate fate of the healthcare law is likely to be decided in the federal courts where it is now being challenged.
