For the second time today, the Senate has rejected a House Republican effort to derail Obamacare tied to a spending bill that would avert a government shutdown at midnight.
The Democratic-controlled Senate voted to table amendments that would have delayed the individual mandate in the health care law and eliminated health insurance premium subsidies for members of Congress, their staffs and the president.
House Republicans were to meet and discuss their next steps.
Follow complete coverage of the looming shutdown on CNN TV, CNN.com and CNN Mobile.
