Manchin Statement on Avoiding Government Shutdown
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) released the following statement on the threat of a government shutdown.

“I have always opposed the individual mandate, and I continue to have concerns with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the cost and choices West Virginians will have in the health care exchanges. That being said, I do not believe that this issue should be used to shut down the government, and I will not vote to shut down the government. We need to work together as Americans to solve these problems so we can get our economy back on track and create American jobs.”

He made it within hours of the earlier statement suggesting support for the delay of the ACA in exchange for a continuing resolution. His statement forced Fox to edit its earlier crowing headline by noting that he had "walked it back." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/09/26/sen-manchin-bucks-dems-to-back-obamacare-delay/
