a major battle is brewing in congress over health care an the budget. the house of representatives voted today to stop funding the president's health care program and at the same time keep funding the government for three months. it would temporarily prevent a government shut down. this is the 42nd time the house of representatives has tried odefunds so-called obamacare. those previous measures failed. the bill passed the house mostly along are party lines. 230 voted for it, including two democrats, 189 voted against it including one republican. we get the story from mike viqueira. ideal compromise is a signed of weakness. as a result of this congressional gridlock had threat.ed to shut down the whole government. after a day of i inknighting, a

day of victory. >> a vote for common sense. >> their vote to cut off funding for the health care law, something the house has voted on more than a dozen times. before. >> it's time to free americans from the shackles of obamacare. >> something that ties the entire government to the president obama's health care plan. ultimately they gave in. >> let's defund this law now and protect the plairn people from the economic calamity that we know obamacare will create. the bill passed the house even as democrats scoffed. >> this place is a mess. let's get our house in order. we are legislators. >> i invite my colleagues on the other side to wake up from this radical ideologic wet dream.

>> without a compromise the government will shut down october 1st. the president has promised a veto. mr. obama has accused the congressmen. >> the health care law is off the table. >> i'm happy to have that debate over them. you don't threaten to blow the whole thing up just because you don't get your way, right? >> well, on top of a threat of a government shut down there is another fight looming, comes at the end of october when the government will exceed its legal debt ceiling. republicans say they're not going to vote to do that unless they can cut obamacare. the president called speaker boehner tonight, told the speaker there's no way he's

going to negotiate over the full faith and credit of the united states treasury. >> that's mike viqueira reporting tonight. so what happens if the government is shuttle down? medicare and medicaid reimbursements as well as social security checks would not likely be affected, the border patrol would stay in place however awnd,000 federal employees could be furloughed, passports and vee ivisas could be delayed, nationl parks and museums and monuments could close. turning to chicago a community calls for peace tonight following a barrage of gun fire in their south side chicago neighborhood. >> put down the gun! >> put down the guns! >> several mothers were among activists. the gunman was armed with an

because this typhoon, starts to move towards us. it is the biggest and moth, it will do severe damage if it continues on its current path. >> do you have any sense of how long it will be before it reaches hong kong where you are? >> yes, it's expected to get here within 24 hours. it's moving through luzon straight at the moment. the massive quadrant of that are storm is hitting the area as we speak. making preparation for evacuations and it's also just brushing the philippines where they have evacuated people in very exposed areas on the top of that are island. it's expected to are lay straight that's what's happened of sty foons of this nature.

>> -- typhoons of this nature. >> typhoon utor which passed in august was the strongest typhoon of the year then and that passed 500 miles to the south of us. that shut down hong kong completely. transportation services were stopped, the stock exchange was stopped and thousands were stranded at the airport. that's the problem this time. it's the mid-autumn festival, many people leave hong kong, go to visit their families in taiwan and in china. if this typhoon continues on its trajectory it's going ocause massive problems on people's travel plans. >> are there going to be big evacuations there? >> if it continues, as it's

planned to continue, it would be expected that evacuations will take place in the philippines. in fact, 248 people have already been evacuated. taiwan will probably evacuate people if it strengthens there and certainly people are on stand by in southern china, the typhoons that have raced across the provinces, 24,000 boats fishing vessels have been told to stay in port, and there is a high alert in the maritime areas. so this china is in fact just raised its flag i'm told from yellow to orange which is the second highest rating so they're expecting severe damage there when this typhoon makes landfall. >> greg leesome waiting for the typhoon to make landfall. thanks so much, greg.

if you are a household income of $53,000 a year the average brongz plan with it run -- bronze plan will run about $200 a month. the silver plan is priceyer a month a little over $300, but gold covers 70% and platinum covers 90. that additional coverage may be important, if you plan for piece of mind. now a nobel peace prize winner is turning his attention oamerica's broken health care system. mohamed unis is known as the father of microfinance. his model uses small loans to help low income groups and it started in bangladesh but today it is helping those in the united states.

the intermediary is the health coach. >> how does that work? >> we created this in a sustainable way. we will be charging each person a fee, something like 40, $45 per month. so we will be collecting this money -- >> and that will cover cost? >> that will cover all the cost. that's what our challenge is so that you make sure you take care of this health care and at the same time core it within the money they can afford to get. >> you're a nobel apeace prize winner acknowledge you are considered to be the master of microlending. >> we see the other problem, you know, poverty and poor health, synonymous things. if you are poor you are poor in health. so you have to address these issues, you cannot walk away and
