Senate Rejects House's Latest Anti-Obamacare Plan

[cal04]

The Senate rejected the House's latest spending bill with anti-Obamacare provisions at about 9:15 p.m. ET, leaving Congress less than three hours to avert a government shutdown.

The House bill would have delayed Obamacare's individual mandate for one year and eliminated health insurance subsidies for Congress members and their staff.

The House is expected to vote on another spending bill, the specifics of which are not yet known, before the night ends.

The Senate voted 54-46 to reject
The Senate promptly took up the bill and voted to table it, 54 to 46. The action also stripped out anti-Obamacare provisions that Democrats and President Barack Obama found objectionable.

Before doing so, House Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) declared the House was insane for repeatedly targeting Obamacare in a government funding bill, when there's no chance Democrats would help them gut Obama's signature health care law.
