closer to reality today as a bitter congressional standoff continued. many republicans want the president's new health care law delayed or defunded. the white house was which just announced this photograph of the president meeting with his senior staff today said no concessions. we have two reports this evening, beginning with nancy cordes at the capitol. nancy? >> reporter: jeff, good evening. normally at this point we would see frantic negotiations taking place between democrats and republicans but as far as we can tell tonight that is not happening. the halls of congress are quiet. the senate will return tomorrow to reject the latest salvo from the housement because of senate rules even that process could take days that we don't have. nearly all house republicans along with two democrats voted for the bill which represents a second attempt by the house gop to use an emergency funding measure to weaken the president's health care law. >> the first portion of the divided question is adopted.

>> their first attempt which would have defunded the health care law all together died in the senate this week and senate democrats have vowed to kill this measure too. maryland congressman steny hauer. >> when do you say enough is enough, let us move on responsibleably to make government work. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner had hoped to dial back this fight but was urged to press on by conservative tea party members. >> we are doing our job on behalf of the american people. >> reporter: today on face face kentucky senator rand paul said the white house must make concessions. >> the president is saying no compromise. i will not touch obamacare. but the interesting thing is he's amended obamacare probably 15 times already. but he does it without any legislative approval. >> reporter: the white house called republicans reckless and irresponsible and illinois democrat dick durbin said a shutdown is almost inevitable. >> 800,000 federal workers will be victims of this

republican shutdown strategy. but even more important, it hurts our economy. for goodness sakes we're just starting to recover and create jobs. >> reporter: but house republican whip kevin mccarthy warned on fox that if senate democrats kill their bill a second time his party will simply move to round three. >> i think the house will get back together in enough time to send another provision not to shut the government down but to fund it and it will have a few other options in there for the senate to look at again. >> the bill that the house passed in the early hour os of this morning would delay the president's health care law for a year and repeal a medical device tax that helps to pay for the president's health care law. democrats say it is just a way to kill the health care law. they agree it needs fixes but they say that republicans simply want to do away with it all together jz nancy cordes, thank you very much. so what would a shutdown look like and how would it affect americans in the on capitol hill? with that here's jeff pegues.

>> if there is a shutdown federal employees will take the hardest hit. there are hundreds of thousands of them who will not be getting paychecks, nor will they have a job to go to. but the impact will be felt far beyond the nation's capitol, especially if a possible shutdown stretches into weeks. for example, routine food safety inspections will stop. food and drug administration observations tell us they will not be able to monitor food imports including baby formula. there will be an economic impact as well. with the housing market showing signs of life, federal housing loans will not be processed. and tourism could suffer. national parks, the smithsonian museums, national archives and the library of congress all would close down. potentially impacting hotels and restaurants. but at the airport tsa workers will continue to screen passengers and air-traffic controllers will monitor in bound and outjúñ medicare and medicaid claims

had will be processed and the u.s. postal service will deliver mail. when it comes to jobs considered essential for public safety, no disruptions there. firefighters will remain on the job. and patrols will continue to monitor u.s. borders. >> this is a 15 minute vote. >> late saturday the house approved an amendment that calls for u.s. troops to be paid in the event of a shutdown but the legislation still has to pass the senate. 1.4 million active duty members of the military are waiting for congress to act. social security checks will roll out for seniors and a shutdown will not stop the president's health care law from going into effect on tuesday. state health exchanges will open as scheduled. jeff? >> jeff pegues, thank you. >> so the day is october 1st, opening day for signing up for health insurance under the affordable care ago. this means that if you are currently uninsured, the site healthcare.gov will

guide insurance plans and prices. you will be directed to exchanges. sort of an amazon of insurance plans that show you the policies available to you based on your age and location. if your state is not one hosting an exchange you will be directed to a federal government exchange. people with preexisting conditions not be turned down or charged more. with more on all of this is cbs news business analyst jill schlessinger, always good to see you. first of all let's talk about who needs this and who doesn't. >> let's start with who doesn't. because if you are covered by insurance, whether through your employer, through medicare, through medicaid, if your kid is through the chip program, you don't have to worry, don't do anything, nothing. zero. if you are a legal resident and you do not have health insurance, those are the folks who are going to start shopping for insurance on these marketplaces or exchanges. >> what should we be looking out for here? >> with you know, unfortunately, these types of events often cause an increase in scams. one of the biggest scams that appears to be bubbling

up is people coming out to seniors and saying hey, you know, i'm from the government. we want to replace your medicare card. remember, if you or one of your relatives is on medicare, medicare recipients have nothing to worry about. don't give your information to anyone. and with any type of interaction whether it be on-line, on the phone, someone walks up to your door, don't ever give your personal information out. that's going to be abe big key. >> these scales taking place on-line as well. >> absolutely. the phoney web site. the only web site you should be going to is health care.gov. that's it and most importantly f someone does come and ask you for information or pushes you to a web site, just get offline, hang up the phone, shut the door, don't do a thing. >> right now even if the shutdown happens, this still moves forward. that said, tuesday might still be a little bit messy. what are you expecting? >>. >> i think that when you have a launch of any big program and any technological innovation

there are going to be problems. there will be bugs, expect delay, don't be deterred. keep at it i went on the web site. i worked with it a lot. there is great stuff, people to assist you, there is 24 hour phone availability as well. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> the pas civic northwest is getting hit by a series of powerful storms. thousands are without power tonight and rainfall records have fallen in multiple cities. making matters worse it is not over yet. david ham of our seattle affiliate cairo has more. >> reporter: the storm hanging over the pas civic northwest has brought record rainfall to seattle and flooding around the region. cell phone video shows waterspouting from an overwhelmed drainage system on the streets of tacoma. wind gusts of 50 miles an hour toppled electrical lines and closed roads. more than 30,000 customers in oregon and washington lost power. bands of rain in eugene, oregon, made it hard enough to see the oregon-call
