The Senate voted for the second time Monday to kill a Republican counter-offer that would rein in ObamaCare while funding the government, kicking the bill back to the House with only a couple hours left on the clock before the government begins to shut down.
Lawmakers are facing a midnight deadline to reach an agreement on a government spending bill. Senate Democrats vow they will not accept any proposal that targets ObamaCare.
The latest House bill would have delayed the law's individual mandate while prohibiting lawmakers, their staff and top administration officials from getting government subsidies for their health care.
The Senate voted 54-46 along party lines to reject it.

The house should just keep tossing it back. so there is no such thing as a conference to reconcile the two houses?
sure a conference would be stacked with dems and RINOs but I thought that is how this crap worked but what do I know? I don’t think these congress critters know much either. :-)
The Apollo Alliance—we are both correct.
Amen and AMEN!!! May we experience some real soul searching during these turbulant days. You are so right. We need to go to our knees....in earnest, sincere, prayer.
They hardly ever answer...and it takes at least 30 days to get a response from him on just about every issue. When you do get a response it goes on and on in a condescending way, like you, being a sheeple, don’t really know what is going on.
What should we be praying for specifically?
If that's true, it will certainly work in our favor. Word of mouth will spread fast.
It is just unthinkable to think that Boehner will not cave!
What does that mean?
Lay off all non essental employees with NO RETROACTIVE PAY EVER!!!
It took the communists like Obama, Reid and Pelosi a long time to get communism kick started in America. They aren’t going down easy. Communists never do.
If they send a clean one to the Senate, it would be the worst thing the Tea Party Republicans. I like the idea being floated about sending over bit by bit funding for the government.
In Daniel 9:1-19 is recorded Daniel’s prayer for his people Israel; a needed prayer for our nation today.
Senators LOVE their kick backs!
Sadly.. No.. As I recall, it was a house bill completely gutted and turned in to Obamacare.
This method has not been tested by the USSC yet.
So it was a house bill stripped of everything but it’s house file number and sent back to the house with obamacare in it.
I believe that we need to pray for those in our government that know what to do but are failing to be obedient to the small voice that speaks to them....PRAYING for obedient men and women in the Senate that will follow what GOD wants rather than the praise of men...
That for starters....and I am praying for America as a whole. That we will get back to a country that follows and adhere’s to moral principles from God’s Word...toss abortion... gay marriage, et all into the pit where it came from.... hell itself.
....in Jesus’ Name...
Senate vote #00211 - Sept. 30, 2013 - 9:06 p.m.
The roll call . . .
Does Harry Reid want Single Premium Payor? Is this why he is doing this?
i KNOW that’s what is going to happen... it’s so surreal watching this play out... Boehner is a weanie with Cantor at his back... this whole thing was just a ploy... i cannot believe i was so stupid to ever think highly of Eric Cantor... F all of those RINOS... viva Ted Cruz!!!
Mine is a little more than $100/month after the subsidy, for a gold plan. I'm not worried about the premium cost or deductible ($750/$1500), it is the quality of care that concerns me. Especially outright denial of care.
