Republicans say spending for House operations, including lawmaker offices, 
has dropped by more than $200 million since they took control three 
years ago.GOP lawmakers said Thursday they saved the money mainly by trimming 
the budgets of committees, leadership offices and individual lawmaker offices.The 
House imposed an 8.2 percent reduction on lawmakers' personal office budgets 
in March, after automatic, across-the-board cuts in most federal programs 
took effect. That came on top of 11 percent cuts to office 
budgets during 2011 and 2012.Committees also took an 11 percent hit this 
year."Many families and small businesses are cutting back, and it's only 
right that the House of Representatives lead by example," House Speaker 
John Boehner, R-Ohio, said.Congress "should not be immune to our economic 
hardship, which is why Republicans have implemented the largest cut to the 
House's operating budget in recent history," said House Administration Committee 
Chairman Candice Miller, R-Mich.They said the operating budget in fiscal

care bill from the floor Wednesday after failing to secure enough votes 
to ensure its passage.The bill offered a lifeline to a main feature 
of President Obamas health care overhaul - affordable coverage for people 
with pre-existing medical conditions -- after it ran into strong opposition 
from both conservatives and Democrats.The legislation is a departure from 
past GOP efforts to kill the Affordable Health Care Act outright, and 
faced a White House veto threat.Democrats are against it because it would 
bail out the struggling program to help those with pre-existing conditions 
get insurance by raiding a disease prevention provision the administration 
says is essential.Conservative groups also urged Republicans to vote against 
it, saying it perpetuated the federal role in health care. Some said 
they felt the bill embraced Obamacare.The measure was a pet project of 
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia whose office pledged to keep 
working on the bill.We had positive conversations today and made good progress, 
Cantor spokesman Doug Heye told Fox News later in the day. We 
remain focused on stopping the biggest entitlement expansion in a generation.House 
Majority Whip Kevin McCarthys office said they had made a lot of 
solid progress.There's still work to do and with Members leaving town for
