House Republicans on Sunday pushed through an amended spending plan that would delay Obamacare for a year and wipe out its tax on medical devices, increasing the chances of a government shutdown in less than 48 hours because Senate Democrats reject the move and the White House said President Barack Obama would veto such a measure.
The bill now goes back to the Senate, which had already stripped a provision from the bill that defunded Obama's signature health care law before it went back to the Republican-controlled House.
The Senate is not expected to reconvene until Monday afternoon, leaving little time for the two chambers to work out their differences and continue to keep the government running.
