Senate Defeats House GOP's Delay Obamacare Bill [View all]

Senate Defeats House GOP's Delay Obamacare Bill

The Senate rejected House Republicans' amendments to a government funding bill in a vote of 54 to 46 on Monday.

The Senate's vote to strip the provisions that would have delayed the Obama administration's healthcare reform law for one year and repealed the medical device tax means the House is once again in the spotlight on passing a bill that funds the government.

A simple majority was needed to defeat the bill.
