Senate passes bill to avoid government shutdown

The Senate has approved modified legislation that would prevent a federal government shutdown on Tuesday.

It is still not clear if the Senate and the Republican-run House will be able to complete a compromise bill in time to get it to President Barack Obama in time.

Conservatives have been trying to use the bill as a way to stop or seriously weaken Obamacare.

The Senate voted to remove language passed by the house that would have blocked money for the health care law.
