Another compromise offered by Republicans in the House.

Another rejection by Senate Democrats. Don't even bother trying, they say. It's my way or the highway.

By the way, it's Republicans' fault if the government shuts down, they are just too inflexible.

House GOP may attach Obamacare delay to CR

The House Republican leadership is seriously considering attaching a one-year delay of Obamacare’s individual mandate to the Senate bill to avert a government shutdown, according to senior GOP aides.

If House Republicans decide to go this route, it would all but provoke a government shutdown, since Senate Democrats might not even schedule a vote on a bill that includes that provision, Senate leadership staffers say. Even if the Senate schedules a vote, there might not be time to move the legislation through the slow-moving chamber.
