Senate kills latest ObamaCare counter-offer, bill kicks back to House

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.

Just a reminder that Obamacare was passed unread by a congress that didn’t write it and debated it without having seen it.

Not even passed. "Deemed".

The list you posted of Senators up for re-election shows a couple of seats that are up, but the individuals listed as being in the seats are either dead or retiring. Max Baucus in Montana is retiring from his seat. And Lautenberg of New Jersey died while in office (Christie picked his temporary replacement).

One wonders if the web site’s are still up. That is if you go on the web and sign up this morning is the signup actually valid if dated during the shut down?

Years ago I visited Saudi Arabia and took evening walks. It was always during Prayer Time. The Philippino’s at Domino’s Pizza came out and sat on the curb. All the shops were closed. The banks were also closed......... except the ATM’s.

The bank door into the small cubical with the ATM was open. One could and did go during prayer time into the ATM and get cash. If you slacked off praying, you could make a quick run to the ATM during Prayer Time while the office was closed

The web is Obama’s ATM machine....... technically it is not something that violates the shutdown

Thanks. I did revise that list late last night, and corrected it on the basis of help from FReepers.

Hopefully more Democratas will be resigning soon - - - .

How is this gonna affect the results of the elections? If the Americans public is getting fed the idea that the Cruz led group of Republicans are totally responsible for this, I fear that will badly hurt our chances for the clean sweep we really need in the Nov 2014 elections. Who does the American public hold responsible for this?
